   Hey, I *like* technobabble.  It allows me insight into the theoretical   
   operation of the science of Star Trek based upon the consulting physicist's   
   ideas.  Or, more precisely, keying 25 years worth of technobabble together   
   allowed me to find a theoretical basis of operation for the warp drive (now   
   acknowledged here and by other fans (thanks guys!! :) ) as the most   
   probable) and allowed me the work out the most likely manner the universe   
   would allow the warp drive to work it's "magic".   
      
   So, in other words...   
      
   MORE TECHNOBABBLE, PLEASE!!!   :P
