But then again man has been attempting to prove "science fiction" true since the 15th century, and the first walk on the moon didn't occur until more than 100 years after Jules Verne wrote "From the Earth to the Moon" in 1865. The science fiction scenario illustrated in the Star Trek series could only truly occur if the human race matured enough to overcome wrath, greed, envy, sloth, pride, gluttony, and lust within each person. I think that will be a long time coming. Outré

Any One World Government is not currently possible, not without extreme force and that would not make a democratic form of government possible, rather a oligarchy would most probably emerge. Still, that would be better than a theocracy which could result in widepsread genocide. I'm all for a republic by, of, and for the people. Outré

A "one world government" would require the homogeny of its people. Whereas in reality, it is more like several separate species who happen to be able to, unfortunately, interbreed. The needs for Star Trek that are physically impossible by science, are the artificial gravity as portrayed, and the hundreds of times faster than light speed travel needed to actually explore the galaxy in real time (which is also affected and not accounted for). In other words, fantasy, that will always be fantasy. Only in our thoughts, or spirit, can we achieve these things.

Four centuries as a matter of fact, and the series refers to them as difficult centuries indeed. There are references to closely avoided nuclear wars, eugenics wars, and general hard times. But the key theme of the Star Trek Universe is "We made it." That's the optimism that we so sorely need and is so desperately lacking in robo's view of the future. Mankind has always been striving. We have suffered horribly through the millenia. But we keep getting better. Sure we take a side road from time to time, but we learn from our mistakes. I have faith. Faith in mankind. Faith in the goodness of people's spirit. Faith in the Creator. Star Trek is about that good side of us. It's about what is best in mankind, and there's a truth there for everyone to see. Star Trek is about hope and Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. (PS: A warm welcome to Outre, my fellow colleague.)

I do not think the speed of light is reachable, but maybe a little under the speed of light is more practicle. As for star trek being evil well I agree the imagination of humans is evil. Probly more evil than we like to think, but not quite as evil as our hatred for each other and our will to survive. Which in the end is our only true instinct.................and our desire to live forever no matter what the cost. Besides we don't want to destroy this world, its the only one we know that makes chocholate. ......................
