Yeah, and I'm fine with that. I don't need a "plausible" explanation for everything. Same with Star Trek. In Voyager, Tom Paris goes faster than warp 10, which is infinitely fast. And he doesn't travel infinitely far. Or all that far at all. How is that possible? The writers said so. Why did he turn into a salamander afterward? Because that's what happens when you go faster than warp 10. Whatever, as long as I'm enjoying it.

Edit: also, as far as I know, the TV show with the most people with advanced degrees who have worked on it is Futurama and they never let science get in the way of a good joke.

Warp 10 is infinitely fast, then how come the upgraded Enterprise D can go warp 13!?!?!

edit: I don't know how to make this a link...
