You mean quantum entanglement?

Oh dear! Here I was already counting the trillions of $ I might have earned with my brilliant idea!

I guess I'd better stick with turning wine into water, er... I mean turning water into wine.

Some really smart people have been trying to figure it out for  a very long time. What chance do we mere mortals stand.

That reminds me. Aparently there's a new Star Gate series in development. 

👍

Unless there's something newer to report it doesn't look too good:  https://filmdaily.co/news/stargate-universe-updates/  .

This was from last month. Says still in works. From Brad Wright.

Really good news. Thanks for the update. I've always been a SG fan. Great stuff and it's really good know they'll be back.

Yep, Star Gate was awesome. Loved it.

DS9 has to be my all time favourite, although I loved Enterprise and Next Gen too. Voyager was pretty good. 

Currently enjoying Expanse on Prime. Fantastic series. 

Mandalorian was great too. 

As for Discovery... hmmm!   Picard apart from the first episode was very disappointing, like anything Kurtzman is involved in.

 

Original cast in new movie.

I really enjoyed all of the ones you've cited, but honestly enjoyed Babylon 5 even more!

Oh yes, Babylon 5 was something special. I've lost count of the number of times my son and I have watched it over again. Now that would make a great new series, with modern CG it would be excellent. Its all about the writing though and that's what seems to be lacking in Kurtzman's shows.

Always liked Babylon 5. One of my small claims to fame is that Joe Straczynski, who created B5, was a high school classmate. Even back then, his writing skills were very evident.

Then track him down. Tell him an old class mate DEMANDS a new series. 👍

I did message him years ago on a B5 Usenet group, and we chatted briefly about the old days at CVHS. Not sure how to contact him nowadays. I didn’t really know him well, (he was a year ahead of me), but we were both in the same Creative Writing class, which is how I know his writing talents were superb. Little did I know then how far he would go! The teacher of that class, Mrs. Massey, was probably the best teacher I ever had in any subject at that school, and JMS dedicated one of his books to her, as she inspired him to pursue writing as a profession. He started getting involved in theater and film production when he attended San Diego State.

Now this is an interesting new theory...

Forget waves and particles, think energy fragments.

 

• Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
• The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.
• The researchers used the theory to answer two problems solved by Einstein.

Too deep for me.  I'm sticking to Newtonian physics.

Now we're cooking! Forget about all that stuff the theoretical physicist types have been spouting over the years. Now that the mechanical engineers have spoken we may finally be getting somewhere..
