It's a stupid argument. Star Wars had 2 fantastic movies, 1 pretty decent movie and then a truckload of crap. They're not really comparable unless you want to include expanded universe and I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.

Need I say more?
Oh yeah, although DS9 was utter crap, it was still better than Star Wars episodes 1-3 combined.
I didn't think DS9 was crap. I thought the story arcs were a welcome change to otherwise stale monster of the week plotlines. Although it loses a lot of points for all the pah wraith fire cave nonsense. It should have ended with the end of the dominion war.
Setting it on a space station would probably turn a lot of people off but after having watched the entire series on netflix I realized that it actually was a really great show and might even be better than TNG mainly because I liked how the war brought out the dark side of Starfleet not seen otherwise.
It's not that I think you have to like it or you're an idiot I just think the show is vastly underrated among the series of Trek. Even Enterprise gets better when watched quickly and I place Voyager firmly at the bottom of the pile.

Star Trek has a complete lack of style, its aesthetically lacking.
I also dislike standalone episodes, and prefer an overarching plot, so I guess Star Wars has the edge on that.
So the winner is...
Farscape for aesthetics
Battlestar Gallactica for story, acting, characters, etc.
Excellent call on Farscape. Tragically underrated show and one of my favs.

Done. ... do u amarricans still use nautical space miles too?
Yup.
Although they're just nautical miles.

Not as close as arms length.

The proper length is a thirty-nine and a half foot pole.
Fair enough Mr. Geisel.

DeadlyAztec11 wrote:Star Wars also has more realistic technology. Yeah light sabers are pretty illogical but they make A LOT more sense than phasers. Also Star Wars has a more realistic method of space travel.
None of that is true. Both phasers and light sabers are equally nonsensical. And hyperspace is more realistic than warp drive? At least warp drive bears a resemblance (albeit an unintentional one and I'll admit merely passing) to an actual theoretical FTL propulsion system, backed up by math and whatnots.

Also, there are people currently working on functional warp drives inspired from Stak Trek. They are called Alcubierre Warp Drives.
Saying they're "working" on them is a bit of a stretch but otherwise you're on point.

What? No one was talking about entanglement were they?

What? No one was talking about entanglement were they? Instantaneous transfer of information is the only exception to celerity, but speed doesn't apply in the same way. You don't have to get all huffy about your imaginary things.
Who's getting huffy? I was just wondering because it just came out of nowhere talking about it.

There are no wormholes in the tech of either series so what does it matter?

Yes. So which series uses wormholes? The warp drive of star trek or the hyperspace of star wars? Both are actual FTL drives as in the ships reach superluminal velocity. Which is not how wormholes work (if they even actually exist).

Tachyons. Theoretical I know, I'm just pointing them out.
Accelerating to the speed of light is impossible.
But just so we're clear are you saying that both star wars and star trek use technology that is technically impossible as we currently understand the universe? Because you're right and I believe I said that already.
Or are you saying the Alcubierre drive and its variants are impossible? Because at least on paper they should work and you would be wrong.

Technically speaking, going through a worm hole is more likely, at least in modern science. That isnt how warp drive works at all. That is a gross oversimplification. Also, wormholes are just as theoretical as warp drives. The only difference is, we can possibly make warp drives, but to use a wormhole, you have to find it. Yes warp drives are called warp drives because they "warp" time and space. You dont nescisarily "travel" fast but you manipulate space to cover greater distances in far less time. found this tidbit that you might find interesting. http://io9.com/5963263/how-nasa-will-build-its-very-first-warp-drive how is manipulating space time different than using a worm hole? altina, lets go back to where you did not answer this question, but asked your own.
It's more or less the same thing. But it's irrelevant because wormholes are not part of the warp drive or the hyperdrive,

When stating something as a fact such as "You cannot travel faster than the speed to light" please state your evidence, all material along with a report as to why it is what it is. Also please include documentation from your college/university in which you studied and gained your degree and knowledge, thanks.
You cannot accelerate to the speed of light:
e=mc^2
Relativistic speeds are no problem as 2 ships traveling at .75c away from each will have a relative velocity of 1.5c which isn't a problem. You require a Lorentz shift along a particular axis to determine absolute velocity. Using the x-axis e=mc^2 becomes:
e=1/((1-(v/c)^2)^1/2
where v=velocity and c=speed of light
if v=c (traveling at the speed of light) the you get:
e=1/(1-1^2)^1/2
e=1/(1-1)^1/2
e=1/0
So the energy required to accelerate to the speed of light approaches infinity as v approaches c.
