Since they don't break causality, they actually are.

No, this is Patrick (and perhaps Jonathan?)
Cool! Though I'm wondering that they didn't update the APU from Zen2+RDNA2 to Zen4-RDNA3.
Interesting, I'll have to look into that. So far, I have rather identified Bajorans as the "space jews" and Cardassians as the "space nazis".
I see. I agree that the middle east would very very likely be far better off without Netanyahu. It's just that so many people seem to oversimplify the situation -for one side or the other- and I'm somewhat wary of that.
Equating Israelites to the space Nazis is a bit harsh and also ironic, isn't it?
Yes that's it. Fun fact: The entropy is basically the most fundamental thermodynamical quantity, but was discoverd long after temperature and energy. If that would not be the case, we might measure temperature in eV / kByte, since the unit of temperature is energy / entropy and the unit of entropy is information.
In a sense, the existence of the Boltzmann constant is a historical accident, because temperature and energy have been discovered after entropy.
Ah, yes. You're referring to these gases with an inverted energy distribution. I guess that's a question of definition, since they don't exist in the thermodynamic limit.
Negative temperature means that the system loses entropy if you put more energy in.
Of course that's basically the same as the "you travel backwards in time if you move faster than light" in the sense that these are things the math does, if you put in these totally unphysical values, while the same set of rules that give this predictions say you can't reach these values.
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. And a least as far as I remember, it does. It's not obvious and not addressed at all, but instantaneous travel between two points in space (if you don't take a shorcut through an addtional dimension, e.g. something we could call w if the three space dimension we're familiar with are x,y,z) is equivalent to time travel. The same is true for FTL travel, which Star Trek solves by warping space time, which also works.
Perhaps the mycelial network is basically an extra space-time dimension, but at least the way I remember it being explained that wasn't really the case.
But that's anyway a relatively technical points and Star Trek, as much as I love it, was never really about the technical things.
