Lessons from Star Trek 1/27/2012

One of the Star Trek series had a space station next to a worm hole.  It was kind of like a Holiday Inn for worm hole travelers.

Somebody traveling through the worm hole got stuck inside of the darn thing by one of those entities that the Star Trek guys were always finding.  I’m pretty sure an entity was anything that was alive, but not exactly like us - like Bosnians.

This entity was confused by the concept of time.  Since he was the worm hole caretaker, I could see how time would be a foreign concept to him.  “You mean you do not know what is going to happen next?  How can you deal with this timeline thing?  I have no concept of it,” he asked the trapped travelers in bewilderment.

The travelers were in a hurry (reason for traveling by worm hole), but the caretaker did not understand the concept of urgency, either.  It was like a The Green Flash trying to get directions from a hippie.

It was from Star Trek that I started to understand why prayers take so long to be answered.
