star trek - Frequency of Warp Core Ejections


I was trying to find a comprehensive list of Warp Core Ejection events on the net and am coming up empty.


The best thing I found was:


a link at memory-alpha(.org) centered around Voyager mentioning no other such event during a TV series.



I am having trouble with this, emotionally speaking, as I feel part of my childhood memory may have been fabricated via ESP.



Answer



There's a good list of Warp Core ejections on the Star Trek Wikia


There are seven specific instances of Federation warp cores being successfully ejected, twice in the Film canon and five times in Star Trek : Voyager.




  1. The Enterprise-E warp core was ejected to seal the subspace tear in "Star Trek : Insurrection".




  2. The Enterprise crew ejected several warp cores to create a shockwave they could use to escape the black hole that formed in the Narada in the 2009 movie "Star Trek"





  3. By Chakotay's spirit inhabiting Torres (in order to prevent Voyager from entering a nebula) in "Cathexis"




  4. To prevent a breach due to a build-up of tachyon particles in VOY "Day of Honor"




  5. By the Doctor (to barter for Janeway's release) in "Renaissance Man"





  6. The duplicate Voyager ejected their warp core to try to get the attention of the real Voyager crew in "Course: Oblivion".




  7. The 2nd Delta Flyer ejected its warp core in "Drive" because the fuel converter had been sabotaged.




Voyager Warp Core Ejection


For the record, although the ejection system is described in detail in the "TNG Technical Manual", the Next-Generation crew failed on at least 14 8 separate occasions to eject the core (including parallel universes).

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

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.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

harry potter - What is the difference between Diffindo and Sectumsempra?

In the Harry Potter books, Diffindo is called the 'Severing Charm' and it’s most commonly used to cut ropes and the like. However, in the last book Hermione uses it on Ron but misses, creating a 'slash in his jeans' and his knee gets cut, causing him to 'roar in pain'. We've only seen Sectumsempra used once on screen when Harry directly uses it on Malfoy in the sixth book, but there it's mentioned that he is 'waving his wand wildly'. Wouldn't Diffindo, if used in such a fashion also cause a similar effect? Similarly, if it was able to cut Ron, it would also be able to, say, chop off an ear (George's)? In that case, how are these two spells different, except for Sectumsempra seemingly used exclusively to hurt humans? Answer While Diffindo and Sectumsempra both can be countered by other spells, Diffindo is far more easily countered. Reparo, a relatively common spell, can completely reverse its effect when used once. “He pulled the old cop...

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...
