Dr. Gillian Taylor: Whoever said the human race was logical? —Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , the inhabitants of twenty-third-century Earth learn all too well the price of their illogical behavior. By hunting the humpback whale to extinction in the twenty-first century, humankind had sealed its own fate. The humpbacks had been in communication with aliens in the twentieth century, but they had no descendants to reply to an alien probe visiting the planet two centuries later. Earth seemed to be on the verge of destruction, as the seemingly omnipotent probe demanded a reply. Luckily, the Enterprise crew saved the Earth inhabitants from a watery grave with the help of time travel, a biologist, nuclear fuel from a naval vessel, plexiglas, and two twentieth-century whales. Sometimes we think of science fiction as presenting escapist, made-up fantasy worlds. From its beginnings in the 1960s until the present, however, Star Trek has commented on contemporary social issues, establishing itself as part of a larger discourse on the state of the world.1 Contemporary environmental concerns are a major theme in Star Trek. In this chapter, we show how the portrayal of animal species’ extinction in the television shows and movies traces gradual changes in environmentalist thinking over the last forty-five years. Although species extinction could include the mass destruction of worlds and the extinction of peoples, like the loss of the Vulcans in the 2009 movie Star Trek or the civil war that wiped out the population of Cheron (TOS, “Let That Be Your 253 Last Battlefield”), the focus here is on creatures equivalent to animals rather than civilizations that are considered equivalent to humans.

  • A3 6 Tribbling Times
    Journal of Physics Special Topics An undergraduate physics journal A3 6 Tribbling Times R. Hodnett, D. Potts, E. Morton, M. Capoccia, S. Shingles Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH November 18, 2019 Abstract In the Star Trek universe, tribbles are small furry creatures whose population increases exponen- tially. Using the assumption made by Spock, that a tribble has 10 children every 12 hours, we find the growth constant for a tribble population to be 0.1998 h−1. From this, assuming the tribbles have an unlimited food supply, we find that the time needed for the tribble family to grow such that it fills USS Enterprise is 4.5 days. Introduction To find k, we rearrange equation (1). In the Star Trek universe, tribbles are small T fluffy creatures that multiply asexually at a rapid ln( T ) k = 0 (2) rate. Once one boards the USS Enterprise, the t crew soon faces the problem of their increasing Spock calculates the number of tribbles after population. three days \assuming one tribble multiplying by We will use an exponential formula to deter- an average litter of ten and producing a new gen- mine how long it would take for the entire volume eration every twelve hours"[1].

This opens up the whole terrain of planned economies, which, however, do not have to be centrally planned—a model that seems nowadays hardly justifiable both theoretically and historically. At least as many as possible, and in the beginning certainly only a few, which you might not need at all. This is where Star Wars seems to have a leg up in the future vision stakes as their are robots everywhere. Instead of that, we will work to get reputation and respect. Schlemm A Money as an alien: post-monetary elements in utopian literature and science fiction. No, I see a distinct issue not addressed in Star Trek humans-from-earth commerce… In that proposed survey of all businesses shown in the show… Do the doctors talk about their business issues? But the technologies they have would allow extremely fast population growth, either in synthetic but fully sapient persons, or in biological persons — recall that transporter accidents sometimes copy people, which means they could do it on purpose. I think that makes sense. Ludger Eversmann dares again to present a utopia. The purpose of the book is to explore how Star Trekkian society holds together without the neo-classical economic world we take for granted.

  • Back to the Future: Star Trek and the Old French Epic
    Back to the Future: Star Trek and the Old French Epic Kimberlee Campbell Harvard University Recent critics have commented that the science fiction serial Star Trek has evolved into a cyclical corpus of stories resembling traditional epic or saga. This study explores the parameters of that cyclicity in comparison with the chanson de geste. Although Star Trek borrows little content from the Middle Ages, poetic and narrative structures are markedly similar to the Old French epic. The author theorizes a generalized Western storytelling filiation, elaborated in response to similar collective need, through which past and future function equally to validate the present. Introduction In recent years, postmodern relativism, with its insistence on the ultimately untranslatable singularity of voice and experience, has come to dominate much of the way we theorize the agency and representation of our selves and our others in the world. For scholars of the medieval, this ideology, even as it seeks both to reintegrate the historical object into its material and social context and to assess the effect of the researcher’s own ethnically or historically determined agenda, has ironically served to reinforce the perceived alterity of the Middle Ages.1 As Kathleen Biddick cautions in The Shock of Medievalism, even “the new medievalism […] retraces a rigid topography of interiority and exteriority,” separating the presumably scientific study of history from sentimental or political appropriations of the medieval past (p. 2). On the other hand, in popular milieux, there is no such separation, the Middle Ages furnishing, naively, anachronistically or not, archetypal models for a contemporary Western mythos.

  • Major Kira of Star Trek: Ds9: Woman of the Future, Creation of the 90S
    MAJOR KIRA OF STAR TREK: DS9: WOMAN OF THE FUTURE, CREATION OF THE 90S Judith Clemens-Smucker A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Brown Kristen Rudisill © 2020 Judith Clemens-Smucker All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor The 1990s were a time of resistance and change for women in the Western world. During this time popular culture offered consumers a few women of strength and power, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Major Kira Nerys, a character encompassing a complex personality of non-traditional feminine identities. As the first continuing character in the Star Trek franchise to serve as a female second-in-command, Major Kira spoke to women of the 90s through her anger, passion, independence, and willingness to show compassion and love when merited. In this thesis I look at the building blocks of Major Kira to discover how it was possible to create a character in whom viewers could see the future as well as the current and relatable decade of the 90s. By laying out feminisms which surround 90s television and using original interviews with Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira, and Marvin Rush, the Director of Photography on DS9, I examine the creation of Major Kira from her conception to her realization. I finish by using historical and cognitive poetics to analyze both the pilot episode “Emissary” and the season one episode “Duet,” which introduce Major Kira and display character growth.

    1 OPEN NINTH: CONVERSATIONS BEYOND THE COURTROOM LIVE LONG AND PROSPER EPISODE 6 SEPTEMBER 25, 2016 HOSTED BY: FREDERICK J. LAUTEN 2 (Music.) >> Welcome to Episode 6 of "Open Ninth: Conversations Beyond the Courtroom" in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. And now here's your host, Chief Judge Frederick J. Lauten. (Music.) >> JUDGE LAUTEN: Hello. I'm here today with Orange County Judge Faye Allen. Judge Allen's been on the bench in Orange County as an Orange County judge since 2005. She received her bachelor of arts degree in criminology from Florida A & M and her Juris Doctorate from Florida State University. Judge Allen, first of all, welcome. >> JUDGE ALLEN: Thank you. >> JUDGE LAUTEN: I understand that you consider yourself a Trekkie. For those listeners who don't know what a Trekkie is, think Star Trek. Think fan. Think the phenomena of a Star Trek fan and its multiple fans. And I think the definition is an avid fan of Star Trek science fiction, television shows, and films or, by extension, a person interested in space travel. Before we talk a little bit about your love of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and everything else that is the Star Trek franchise -- and it's 3 truly a franchise -- I'd like to talk a little bit about your background. So why don't you tell me where you're from originally, and why you decided to become a judge. >> JUDGE ALLEN: Fred, I'm originally from Quincy, Florida. It's a few miles west of Tallahassee, the capital.
