Sunday morning idle thinking....

 

Phase Technology:

I lay in bed last night considering the state of phase technology. As far as I know, it only exists in Star Trek: Next Generation or perhaps amongst the Sci-Fi novels. A brief Google search reveals sound systems and some other kinds of phase technology that in no way resembles Next Generation tech. I would fall asleep trying to dig out any work being done by physicists or cosmologist and the math?  That is why there is a whole mathematical philosophy devoted to impossible stuff.

Thinking about the implications of the crew passing through the solid structures of the Enterprise unable to interact with the normal phase of the ship I thought this might be the solution to the Mid East Problem.

How about we use the technology to divide Jerusalem, Hell the whole middle east into three phases; Jewish , Moslem and Christian Jerusalem. That means that EVERY faith has total access to their very own Holy Land.

Now, think about this. the technology would essentially freeze the Holy Land in it's present glory, nothing could be developed or improved or rebuilt.

The Christians can relax about the Apocalypse, the tour groups can walk the Jesus walk, the Islamic folk can argue between the various factions and the Jews can pray at any wall they wish.

Hmmm, oh to have the Power of the local friendly Djinn, who you may note are distinctly of Arabic origin, so any and all wishes would have to be gone over with a fine toothed comb.

I could also see this being swiftly abused with Prison world, Republican World, American World, African World.

Can you imagine all the cruise ships toting all the pilgrims from everywhere and shimmering into their various preferred phases. This coupled with enhanced assault proof nanotechnology would make dull peaceful and frustrating multi-verses. All you could do is argue and trade insults. There would actually be insult shortages as people ran out of epithets, taunts and volatile commentary. Hypertension and anxiety would run rampant. Hmmm, better build in birth control in that nanotechnology, otherwise the end times really will be here before you know it.
