Perhaps this is because I'm not a hard core Trekkie, unlike almost <i>all</i> friends with whom I enjoy good conversations! I know I'm just in denial and one day, undoubtedly, I'll convert. Yes, in a non-time based reality, potential is reality, and the conception of something lies in imagining it. This is perhaps how our thoughts, also, can create our reality. I look forward to time travel, painless warp speed and tight skivvies. Claire, it seems we share this fundamental theorem, except mine extends to “The Jetsons” as well :-).

Or, in broader terms, in this arguably impossible-to-ever-comprehend universe, if our minds have the capacity to imagine a thing, then it has the potential to exist - somewhere, sometime. I'm not sure how this would apply to the more outlandish of film and literary materials, but we have seen it come to pass with several concepts first raised on Star Trek. Of course, this latest development mirrors (heheh) the well known concept of the Romulan cloaking device, albeit in a rudimentary form.
