Khas

That's the one written by David Darling, right?

Yup. Read it when I was 14.

You are stuck in an elevator with Wesley Crusher, Jar-Jar Binks, and Jason. The Good News: The elevator will be fixed in a fairly short amount of time. The Bad News: Not until all these videos have finished playing to you and the other elevator denizens, in the following order:

What do you do until the elevator is fixed?

Khas, it seems that you are new to science fiction because if you bothered to watch *ANY* science fiction movie or TV episodes you'd see that they all abuse science.

 

 

 

ST = space amoeba? Crack in the event horizon? Being shrunk to the size of a christmas ornament? Warp drive? transporters?

 

 

 

SW = hyperdrives, I know there's more but I am sure others will point it out.

 

 

 

V = stealing water? how stupid is that? There's water everywhere but instead waste time, effort and resources to steal water while being nicey - nice with the humans.

Oh, I've been a Trekkie since I was 2, and I know all sci-fi has it's screw-ups, but Doctor Who seems to go out of it's way to abuse science.

And on ST science screw-ups, I never saw the VOY episode with the crack in the event horizon, but I've heard of it, and that had me gritting my teeth for about a quarter hour. As for warp drives and transporters, there are actually laws of physics allowing those. About transporters, I'd recommend the book "Teleportation: The Impossible Leap". It was written by a physicist, and he knows what he's talking about.

Never saw "V", but from what you said, that's just dumb what the aliens did. Why not just take it from the comets, or the moons of some gas giants, instead of taking it from here?

I kinow I posted this on SFJ, but I'll post it here too. Because to say that Doctor Who abuses science is like saying Hitler killed a lot of people. It's a HUGE understatement.

First off, the Big-ass Wank Device, I mean, Reality Bomb. The Reality Bomb is nowhere near as thorough as Davros could have made it. By nullifying the electromagnetic force, baryonic matter turns to dust, but the following stuff would survive:

Dark Matter (Doesn't feel electromagnetism)

Dark Energy

Neutron Stars (Made of neutrons (no shit), which are electrically neutral)

Black Holes

And of course, Chuck Norris.

And now for the creatures that abuse science:

Slitheen from planet Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious. Creatures of Living Calcium. Calcium is an alkali earth metal that combusts when it hits water (much like what everyone wants to happen to Jason), so unless large amounts of Magicium, Technobabblium, and Plotdevicium are used, this is pretty much impossible.

Those Living Fat Creatures. Sure, creatures like that could exist in real life, but they'd need a Titan-like environment to do so. On Earth, they'd melt.

The Nestene Concioussness and Anti-Plastic. Anti-plastic? Are you fucking kidding me?

Weapons:

The Osterhagen key. 25 nukes placed under the Earth's crust, that when all activated, would blow Earth to bits. Nukes have to be a certain size to have a certain yield. And in order to get that yield, each nuke would have to be 300 miles across. How the fuck do you keep that a secret?

And a Jason-esque plan:

Detonate all of Earth's nukes at once to turn the crust into molten slag. Earth recieves more energy from the sun in an hour than what that explosion would do.

Doctor Who Fails Science Forever.
