Cool

I was just thinking, how similar would the Tunnel's construction be to the coils inside a warp nacelle...?

Just a slight difference between warping space and warping time, I'd think...

What about Groundhog Day?

I loved Groundhog Day.
Even the riff Supernatural played on it was funny.

Interesting question. But you are assuming that you can change one, without changing the other. Space and time are NOT seperate entities. That's why most physicists refer to it as "Spacetime."

To travel to any point in the universe, you have to plot at least four points: right /left (X), up /down(Y), in/ out(Z) and then/ now (Tau). That's the minumum. We currently believe that there are about 11 known dimentions to spacetime, the remainder can only be expressed in mathmatical form... yet they appear to be needed to exist in the "reality" that we all know and love.

The difference would be in warping space, you are changing your location in space but not so much in time, but in warping time, you are changing your "now" in time, not necessarily your location in space, except to adjust for such things as planetary movement...wouldn't want to stop yourself in time more than 16 seconds and pop back in again to find out the Earth had moved away from under you...

Exactly my point, starbase. You can't move through one, without moving through the other...

Alas, yes. It was a rather bizarre treatment of the source material

Wow.. didn't think anyone else on the planet ever saw Biggles movie besides me... I have that one on DVD just cause I remember liking it when I was younger, odd movie, but interesting... the Nazi death weapon that kills with sound/microwaves or whatever was a cool idea. Though that song that they play in the movie.. over and over... got stuck in my head for a month and annoyed me to death!

Didn't Frakes direct something called "Clockstoppers?" or something like that? (I heard it was pretty... Bleh.)
