StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

We don't have enough information to know whether or not that's a fruitful path, so to speak, for entanglement.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Well, subspace is only vaguely determined, decided or defined in Star Trek, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Yeah, exactly.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

But yes, if you're in a, it could be a warp drive or something like that, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And you are in subspace as a result of being in a warp bubble, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

That could be considered a dimension, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Or it could be considered something that is in the existing spatial dimensions that just happens to be temporarily not accessible.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And yet you have subspace communications in Star Trek, so it is accessible, and it's just all kinds of weirdness.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Correct.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Well, that's one of the interesting things between Star Trek and Star Wars, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

I love them both, but even though Star Trek has tried to be much more scientific...

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Star Wars just gave up on being scientific.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Star Wars is just a space opera.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And so in that sense, it's actually still kind of fun.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Although things like the Mandalorian and so forth, they still have a little bit of science thrown in there.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

The ideas in general of things like the Force and whatnot in Star Wars, eh, not so much.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

This is another great question.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Thank you, Cindy.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And in fact, this is a question that I was asked like exactly word for word.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

when I was at the American Astronomical Society meeting back in January.
