<omega> i like star trek because it's actually pretty
realistic.  the technology is fiction, but it follows real
physics
<Kuiper> In Star Trek, whenever there are torpedoes or phaser
fire hitting a ship, you can hear the explosions even though
they're in space.  How is that "real physics?"
<omega> in space, explosions are actually louder
<omega> because there is no air to get in the way
