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.

What is Tolkien trying to say in this letter?

In a draft of a letter, later recorded as #246, Tolkien makes a strange statement. I am interested in the first few sentences of the letter, but I will include the remainder for the sake of context. In the 'Mirror of Galadriel', 1381, it appears that Galadriel conceived of herself as capable of wielding the Ring and supplanting the Dark Lord. If so, so also were the other guardians of the Three, especially Elrond . But this is another matter. It was part of the essential deceit of the Ring to fill minds with imaginations of supreme power . But this the Great had well considered and had rejected, as is seen in Elrond's words at the Council. Galadriel's rejection of the temptation was founded upon previous thought and resolve. In any case Elrond or Galadriel would have proceeded in the policy now adopted by Sauron: they would have built up an empire with great and absolutely subservient generals and armies and engines of war, until they could challenge Sauron and destroy ...

tolkiens legendarium - Was Galadriel's temptation of Boromir instrumental to his fall?

We know Galadriel tempted the members of the Fellowship, did she tempt Boromir with visions of taking the Ring and saving Gondor? In the books, Boromir willingly accepts the judgement of the council that the Ring should be destroyed, but after the meeting with Celeborn and Galadriel his personality seems to change. Was the temptation offered by Galadriel in some way responsible for Boromir's fall? Answer It's likely, but not certain I believe it is likely Galadriel tempted him with the ring, and in doing so re-ignited a pre-existing idea to take the ring, but to be clear lets break this down into three parts. Boromir at the Council of Elrond Boromir after setting off Boromir after being tempted Boromir at the Council of Elrond Boromir pleas for the ring to go to Minas Tirith, to help Gondor in its defense against Mordor. “ Why should we not think that the Great Ring has come into our hands to serve us in the very hour of need? Wielding it the Free Lords of the Free may surely...

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...
