Star Trek

That is supposedly what warp drive is, at least as (over-) explained in the TNG era. Romulan ships supposedly had a "singularity" in them to do exactly that.

But it's a mistake to bother with the technical details. It's enough that it works and gets them from place to place. No more is needed.

Trying to come up with "scientific"-sounding explanations of things is what leads to the constant onslaught of technobabble, and silly premises such as what this film had.

I'm out of the loop on this stuff, sorry. I always thought the ship had to go faster than light (when you see it hyperward with lght streaks) to do this.

I ment I want to see the Enterprise (love that word) sit still and bend the freakin galaxy over with gravity while it's sitting still, ya know, make it come to them.

Off topic. What a waste of matter ( I think they should recycle BTW)...

That could be neat. Sounds like an Alcubierre Drive.

I did rather like how the ships took off into warp in the new film. They sort of shot off like a bullet.
