  The warp engines, a has been stated before, are warp 'generators' that
affect the fabric of space and operate in hyper or warp space, and
are therefore unaffected by newtonian physics. It should also be noted
that the impulse engines drive the ship in normal space,and that they are also
more centrally located (behind the disk). The ENTERPRISE also has many
attitude control jets or thrusters (they were referred to in ST,TMP as
the Enterprise was leaving 'drydock') to counteract any spinning force.
