The Irish Doggy Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 The speed limit in TNG was set at Warp 5 because Picard would get skeered to go faster and made up some sort of Galactic speed limit BS that they broke whenever they wanted to. Disgusting. Kirk would've had sex with the hole created in space. Only if the hole was green and danced for him first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, but I'm not sure where you're going with that? You didn't really ask him that, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBalla Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Yes, but I'm not sure where you're going with that? I take it you read the book? They had an underground...atom collider. In which they captured anti-matter? It created a different "nuclear" like weapon. This reminds me of that book specifically and CERN as well. The plot follows Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, as he tries to stop what seems to be the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter. CERN director Maximilian Kohler discovers one of the facility's most respected physicists, Leonardo Vetra, murdered in his own secured, private quarters at the facility. His chest is branded with a symbol — the word "Illuminati", formed as an ambigram, using a hot iron and his eye torn out. Instead of calling the police, Kohler researches the topic on the Internet and finally gains contact with Professor Langdon, an expert on the Illuminati. Kohler requests his assistance in uncovering the murderer. What Langdon finds at the murder scene frightens him: The symbol appears to be authentic, and the legendary secret society, long thought to be defunct, seems to have resurfaced. Kohler calls Vetra's adopted daughter Vittoria to the scene and it is later revealed that the Illuminati has also stolen a canister containing a quarter of a gram of antimatter — an extremely deadly substance with destructive potential comparable to the most powerful nuclear weapons in existence, a potential unleashed upon contact with any form of normal matter. When charged with electricity at CERN, the canister's magnetic field controls the drop of antimatter to float in a pure vacuum, ensuring safety; but when it was taken away from its electricity supply, it automatically switched to its back-up battery, which will only power it for 24 hours. The horrible truth is that the Illuminati has put the stolen canister somewhere in Vatican City, with a security camera in front of it as its digital clock counts down to the explosion.
