Message-ID: <2055@jhunix.UUCP> Date: Sun, 2-Mar-86 15:39:47 EST Article-I.D.: jhunix.2055 Posted: Sun Mar 2 15:39:47 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 4-Mar-86 04:00:41 EST Distribution: na Organization: Johns Hopkins University Lines: 22 I seem to recall an old episode of Star Trek where Kirk ordered the phasers, fired in a wide field in pulses. They came out looking like photons. I can't remember which episode it was, but I think that phasers when fired in pulses would tend to look like photon torps...wouldn't they? That's my solution to the thing...of course, you never know...the producers might've screwed up...eh? Ted Ying. -- "Is anyone here a Physics buff, that admits it?
