By now , you ’ve probably seen the raw trailer for J.J. Abrams’Star Trek Into Darkness , which sport a stunning guess of theEnterpriserising up out of a body of urine . According to journalists who have image the first nine minutes of the film , theEnterpriseis purposefully hiding there . Only one problem , though : It could never happen .
Raymond Wagner , who has a PhD in electric engineering science and works in the place industry , toldBadass Digestgoing underwater is the sort of matter that simply would n’t be built into the capacity of the spaceship . " Like most spacecraft , the Enterprise is designed to keep between one and several atmospheres of pressure in , while the ship itself is disclose to the vacuity of space , " Wagner allege . " This is a very different job than keeping out the pressure sensation from tons of ocean piddle over your read/write head . " For every 33 base the ship descends into the body of pee , Wagner says , the pressure would increase by one atmosphere , " and it wo n’t take much depth to return some wild pressures ! " And that ’s just one reason why having theEnterprisehang out underwater does n’t make good sense .
Devin Faraci , who wrote thearticleand expressed displeasure about the conniption onTwitter , evidently understands that filmmakers often elongate or fudge skill in overhaul of the tale — as is their right hand , to make a more compelling movie . Still , he say , Star Trekhas been an inspiration to scientist — and in fact has inspired many expanse of modern science — since it debut in the sixties . But Abrams ' picture show seem to be more fantasy than sci - fi , and that ’s an issue . " In a New old age where blank space geographic expedition is being devalued and huge number of Americans still believe in Creationism , Star Trek ’s aspirational , human - story , engineering science - rivet school of thought is more important than ever , " Faraci writes . " I want the newStar Trekfranchise to urge the next genesis of engineers and explorers . Instead it seems that JJ Abrams has taken the dealership into theStar Warsspace fantasy direction , where character misuse watchword like ' parsecs ' and where basic physics are throw out the windowpane . … Star Trekshould be scifi … and science is just as important as fabrication in that portmanteau . "
I tend to agree with Faraci on this one . What do you Guy suppose ?
