   I have never understood something (maybe I'm just ignorant!) and I
would like it if someone could explain it to me...
   On many episodes,(one example is 'Day of the Dove'), the ship is
out of control and racing through space at warp factor > 10.  And of
course Scotty cuts in with the usual 'The ship canae take the stress no
more.  She'll break apart!'  My question:  Even if the ship is traveling
faster that it is supposed to, what causes the stress?  After all, there
is no air out in space to create a drag effect...


Live long and try to prosper (It's getting harder every day!).
