But the thing that's fascinating to me before we talk about the things we're going to fix is Matthew Jeffries is not a physicist, number one. Number two, the math and physics associated with the idea of a space warp. It hadn't been published in the 60s when he came up with this artwork.

But look how close he got, right, for somebody just following his gut instinct in terms of pulling something together. What was his background? Did he have some sort of a background in science? I couldn't say anything. I don't know for certain, but, man, he sure did. He nailed it. Yeah, he sure did get close. He got so close. Yeah.

So the interesting thing is the nature of this ship, the fatal flaws that it had. So we did an update of this as part of like an education outreach program. So I reached out to Mark Rademaker and some folks from CBS Studios, and so we did an updated version of this for a Star Trek Ships of the Line calendar. That's cool. Yeah, and that's the one that's in the video, right? The IXS Enterprise.

Go back just one more slide, Jamie. So the problem with this version here is the rings that go around the spaceship are entirely too thin for So when you calculate how much of the exotic matter I just talked about that you might need to make this thing do something useful, it's going to be a very large number that might be impossible to ever make. So it's like fatal flaw number one.

Fatal flaw number two is the bridge of the spaceship goes way out in front of where the warp bubble would form. as a result of those rings. So the rings would form like a warp opal that looks like a little capsule. It would actually cut the bridge off and the bridge would go floating away and Scotty would be so fired. That's not good. That'd be a short, sad episode of Star Trek.

I hope they have a parachute. Right, right, exactly. So we work with CBS Studios. Now you can go to the next slide. So now we've got, you know, the rings are much more athletic. They have more heft to them. They're thicker. So that reduces the energy requirements. And then the spaceship itself is kind of properly nestled into the warp bubble.
