He knew those things to teach you but didn’t like Star Trek? Was he a Star Wars fan?

My old man never really understood the stuff I liked (Battletech, D&D, Magic, Star Trek) but he knew they were important to me and that I wasn’t unhealthy over them, and that was good enough for him.
Actually he managed to work Star Trek into the stuff he taught me like classical physics and quantum mechanics.

I don’t think Star Trek is very hard sci-fi.

Compared to Star Wars, Star Trek is pretty fkin hard scifi.
Star Trek isn’t hard hard scifi, no, there’s a bunch of completely soft fantasy elements like the holodecks and whatnot, but compared to Star Wars, it’s still pretty hard.

No, he was a physicist. So he used examples of warp drive and time dilation along with why there is a Heisenberg compensator in the transporter.
