  • This stuff ain't dilithium-crystal warp-drive science or anything.

    Chris Weigant: Friday Talking Points -- Give 'Em Hell, Barry! Chris Weigant 2011

  • Having a “debate” about changing the filibuster rule is about as realistic as having a debate about whether we should be building warp-drive spaceships.

    Matthew Yglesias » Governments Should Govern 2010

  • This stuff ain't dilithium-crystal warp-drive science or anything.

    Chris Weigant: Friday Talking Points -- Give 'Em Hell, Barry! Chris Weigant 2011

    Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Seize the Fire Michael A. Martin 2010

  • Demonstrating warp-drive capacity—which really amounts to little more than sustaining and harnessing the mutually annihilative reaction of matter and antimatter, as the Hranrarii have done—is what determines whether a culture has attained warp capability.

    Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Seize the Fire Michael A. Martin 2010

  • But actually I don't find that far-out prospect very interesting -- it bears the same relationship to serious aging science that warp-drive spaceships do to aeronautical engineering.
