Timothy King https://archive.jtimothyking.com/2012/09/20/bits-pieces-2012-09-20/ Links and things that I’ve run across recently.

Warp 21—35—17, Hut!

This is too cool.

The other day I was gushing to my kids that by the 24th century, life will probably be just like it is in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Well, maybe not the warp drive, because that’s just a plot device they have to include to make a space opera work. But a lot of the other stuff, like ordering dinner from a talking computer and just having it zap! appear there before your eyes.

As it turns out, though, I was wrong. Warp drive may actually be possible.
