Unendliche Weiten

» One Day, This Will Be Remembered as the First Real Tricorder - Gizmodo

“The low-cost, low-power system can detect minimal concentrations of ammonia, chlorine gas, and methane, showing the values in an iPhone application. It can automatically communicate the results with other cellphones or the Enterprise’s computer using Wi-Fi or 3G, and order massive teleportation evacuations if needed. OK, not true. No teleportation yet, but we are getting there.”

About

A science fiction scrapbook. May contain: science, fiction, unlikely physics, feminist griping and a worrying amount of Star Trek trivia.

My main Tumblr is here; it's a bit less nerdy, but not by much.

The Name

The German equivalent of Star Trek's "Space: the final frontier..." intro starts with "Der Weltraum: unendliche Weiten..." – infinite vastness – and contains a number of pointless and partly inaccurate details that are not in the original. It also goes on for twice as long. Germans, eh?
