PS: replace "holodeck" with "tantalum arsenide crystal" to yield a less off-topic comment.
- empath75 11y agoThat's a really good explanation.
- tobias2014 11y agoWhat about strongly interacting theories? Are quarks and gluons quasi-particles then too? They can't leave the holodeck aka. Hadron. I think this could break your classification :)
- daveloyall 11y agoThank you for this explanation. But hey, speaking of TNG... Can't you just stick on of those fancy crystals in your computer? Wait, computers made out of crystals? Did that just happen? :)
- fnordfnordfnord 11y agoComputers are already made out of fancy crystals. But these new crystals would be even fancier than the old ones.
