Brief Biographical Sketch:
My four-year mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new math and new awesome equations, to boldly go where...well, plenty of men have gone here before, actually... Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)H4125: Star Trek and the 1960s in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
Remember that episode with the space hippies? Yes? How about the one where Kirk starts the Vietnam War on the planet Neural? I didn't think so. We'll talk about how Star Trek: The Original Series reflected issues of the 60s, and maybe even discuss the movies a little. Not to mention you'll get to hear William Shatner recite the Preamble to the Constitution (We..........the PEEEEOPLE!)
S4127: You Canna Change the Laws of Physics: Science Mistakes in Star Trek in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
Despite Scotty's protests, the Enterprise crew seems to do a lot of messing around with the laws of physics, not to mention biology. Heck, they don't even get their math right half the time!
Check out the errors I noticed in Star Trek: The Original Series, point out any I may have missed, and try to come up with a good explanation of the stardate system, if such a thing is possible. :)
