Listen, I know the work of Stephen Hawking. He is working on the GUT - the
Grand Unified Theory. Yes, maybe he has had an idea how it might work, but he
is certainly not working on it (he has better work to do. Perhaps we should
try to solve the problems of this planet before wasting energy on such things
as a warp drive).
Sorry, but can you imagine how much energy such actions take? No? Then I
recommend you read some facts in a *real* physics book.
Listen, I don't want to argue with you. I only answered your mail because it
was so arrogant.
I don't hate Star Trek, I just like Starwars better. I'd never call a Trekkie
a "loser" or something like that.
I guess your parents have never taught you the values of respect, tolerance
and acceptance, otherwise you wouldn't write such mails.

HAHAHA..  Cute..  But you negelted to notice that I mention only one of the
smallest ships.  I didn't quite specify the star-destroyer's guns.  They are
all QUAD, you know..  That means Four-in-one type of gun.  True, the
enterprise has 260 torpedoes; how  many can it fire at once?
  And as for the federation using lasers for target practice, my &$$, They
use them when ever the can..  I've only seen the enterprise use torpedoes
when they know they've lost.
  I can see it now.....

there is a large ship, does not comform to any know ship type.  CAPTIAN, it's

One thing I will say, SW has been at it for 20 years, and still going strong,

What effects were pointless? Unlike Star Trek, Star Wars has

Only the newer ones have some quite good action special effects.
SW is 20 years old... at that time, Star Trek didn't even come
close to Star Wars in case of the FX.
Star Wars is the most successful film ever, you can't deny that.
SW IV cost about $10 million.
Yes... many wanted to see the film on the first day, but were
disappointed that much... no one else wanted to see the film.
;-)))
Bad move. How many Oscars you think Star Wars has won? The first
one has won about seven. The second one AFAIK two... and the last
one also one or two.
There is no *real* Sci-fi. God! Aren't there any Star Wars-lovers
who like Star Trek, too? Or any Star Trek-lovers who like Star
Wars?
I feel so lonely... :-)
Why isn't there a conflict between BATTLESTAR GALCTICA, BABYLON
5, BLADE RUNNER, ALIEN, SPACE ODYSEE 2001, TOTAL RECALL, etc.
etc.
They are all Sci-fi! But they are all totally different.
You could compare STAR TREK to BABYLON 5 or STAR WARS to
BATTLESTAR GALCTICA.
Star Trek and Babylon 5 are both based on diplomacy and Star Wars
and Battlestar Galactica are both based on the good vs. evil war!
