      The whole thing is theoretical, but the more tools we have on our belt to look for intelligent life in the universe, the better.

      It did not. That never happened. No one has ever gone beyond Warp 10. It’s infinite speed. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

          You’d lie to kids about evolving into a salamander and having sex with your former flight control officer who is also now a salamander and having little salamander babies after traveling faster than infinitely fast if you could too. Don’t say you wouldn’t.
