[citation][nom]need4speeds[/nom]Think about it for a moment, when the first season of star trek was filmed. All of this technology, was only a dream back then. The biggest thing at the time, expensive like a iphone or handheld gaming unit, used leading edge technology at the time was a battery powered transistor radio. Most would boast how many it had in it and print it on the radio something like "9 transistor radio". Stereo was also new and expensive. And color tv's were as expensive as today's 65" lcd tv's (in today's dollars). Except for the transporter (actually research is being done on that and they claim to have transported a few single atoms (proving Steven Hawking's theory ), warp drive(the physics and concept has been laid out by Steven Hawking),Time travel (Steven Hawking says it's possible actually),alternate universes or worlds (Steven Hawking again), basically every device that was dreamed of and used in star trek is now for sale and you can buy one in a store somewhere or the military has one. Even when Steven Hawking tries to explain his theory's in simple terms, I still don't get it. -handheld medical scanners (handheld mri's)-handheld communication device (cell phones)-handheld computers (smart phones and laptops)-tiny speakers/mic (blue tooth headsets)-flat screens (lcd's)-talking computers (voice recognition and text to speech)-computer a.i. (almost there)-computer knowledge bank (modern search engines and the internet)-phazers (high powered lazers)-guided heat seeking missiles (cruise missiles)-gps -3d medical imaging (cat scans and mri's)-implants to restore sight and sound,limbs and mobility (still primitive today but progress is being made)-spacestation-drone airplanes-hubble telescope-computers with color 3d graphics (i think that one has been covered, lol.)-plasma drive (controlled nuclear fission) (still working on that, the holy grail of energy)-Captain's log stardate 070023 (send a email or tweet to the crew that i will be out on a away mission for a while) The list goes on and on. No tv show or movie predicted more things that came true than this series, ever. Without William Shatner and the star trek cast and crew dreaming up these things to later to be made, maybe google and google+ would not even exist today.[/citation]
i actually understand most of the concepts that he talks about. but time travel is a can of worms you never really want to open. because there are a few ways it can play out.
the first would be you cant change anything, as in you get a gun, and try to kill your parents before they have you, if the gun cant or wont fire, than you have the answer. at this point, everything in the world is prediturmend, that would be the most depressing thing ever. than there is also the though that if time travel does exist, it may not be our universe you travel to, but one that is the complete same as ours, only you presences is there again at a different time.
but more to the topic, crediting startrek with anything like that is complete bs. as those ideas would be there whether it existed or not, however the show probably inspired some people to go into those fields of research.
