A piece I was reading on just war brought to mind a plot of a sci-fi show (I believe it was a show, e.g., Star Trek, rather than a movie or book). In this storyline, opposing warring parties would kill a certain number of their opponents troops (and maybe civilians?) based on calculations (possibly a war game scenario) in an antiseptic environment (i.e., the killing was never seen). I believe that the resolution came when the warring leaders were forced to confront each other physically. Can anyone help me nail this show down? Thanks in advance.
In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.
