    When I saw the episode in which the Enterprise left the galaxy I was
surprised to hear the crew referring to some kind of barrier at the edge
of our galaxy.  Is there really such a barrier?  Or is this just fiction for
the sake of the T.V. show?  I all ways thought that the stars in our galaxy
became more spread out toward the edge.  Could the spiral motion of
the galaxy have anything to do with a barrier?  Are there any current scientific
theories on this subject?   I sure would like to know.
