A Better Future Through Science | StarTalk

science fiction is based on science and
imagination but right now as an observer
of the human condition it looks to me
that almost all of our science fiction
is apocalyptic it’s about a future for
humankind that kind of sucks but on Star
Trek it’s not like that it’s never like
that and all the versions of Star Trek
the future for humankind is optimistic
they’ve solved all the problems of food
clothing and shelter you know how they
solved them through science not only
that in the Star Trek future everybody
gets along people from the continent of
Australia from North Africa South Africa
North Asia South Asia from Europe
everybody gets along because they point
out over and over again that were more
alike than we are different that we are
all in this together let’s embrace that
happy Star Trek future let’s embrace the
process of science for a better tomorrow
for all of us we can all through science
dare I say it live long and prosper
people sorry
