Don't make me turn into what I hate, hypies. TNG made me cringe any time it got into biology or genetics. Like the episode where everyone "mutated" into ancestral forms, then happily got turned back by the end of the episode. I didn't give a shit about the physics because 1) I don't know much about it and 2) who cares, they have FTL drives, it's science fiction. They have a "holodeck" where you can get killed by the holograms. And presumably fuck them.
The most interesting un-thought-through thing to me is the transporters. Do they destroy you and recreate a different "you" at the destination? That's the only reason you could have copies. It's the same as the replicators I guess. The philosopher Derek Parfit talks about this kind of thing a lot in Reasons and Persons.

yeah the transporters certainly are a philosophical dilemma, in fact we never see the real true version of Picard as he got atomically disassembled, when he first used a transporter presumably when he first joined Starfleet, actually yeah I know what you mean about picking holes in things its opens a can of worms

I recall reading that a bunch of nerds at a science fiction convention realized there was something wrong with the physics of Larry Niven's Ringworld and started chanting "the ringworld is unstable! the ringworld is unstable!"
Imagine the horror. Imagine the smell.
Anyways these two self righteous nerds knew the same thing you and I did about supernovas before they consulted Wikipedia looking for something smart to say in their youtube: absolutely nothing. I'm wondering if there's a service that rents out jocks to beat them up.

I think what they do is very tongue in cheek tbh, I think my main complaint with modern trek is there is too much action, they are aligning it with modern Hollywood too much, but I guess that's the only way they can get the green light on these projects
