Trek Technobabble

In honor of the new Star Trek Movie that will be out this week, I found a wonderful Youtube video that is very clever in pointing out that a lot of the science in Star Trek is meant to sound fantastic but can also be very confusing because it is fiction. I love Trek because of the philosophy of peace, harmony, working to become better human beings, and the idea of exploration to expand our knowledge. I love science fiction for that reason because for me, education is the most important thing in life. Being educated helps me to think and reason about situations and draw my own conclusions as to what to do or not do as the case may be, and not depend on others telling me how I should be thinking, especially the news, but I digress. Those ideas in all of the Star Trek series and movies and the message of hope is what has made the franchise so successful in my opinion. But come on, it is amusing to poke fun at some of the silly stuff that is said now and again. This video is about six minutes long but worth it.
Enjoy!
