Star Wars uses Hyper-drive which is a extra dimension in the Star Wars universe that allows ships to travel through it at a speed much faster than light. Hyper-drives range in speeds depending on the "engine" installed. Star Trek uses Warp drive which warps the fabric of space-time and allows the ship to get to its location faster than light while the bubble it is in does not move. Warp drives are being researched in real life.outlander4 wrote:This thread is dangerous as it might quickly degrade into discussing personalities...
... Of course, H-tech is just better than everything but I'd honestly refrain from comparing two or more types of handwavium; it's just as silly as comparing hyperspace from Star Wars to hyperdrive (? I think so) of Star Trek and arguing which one is better.

All being said, I must declare that despite being an avid supporter of non-H-tech club I have great personal respect for Thymine, his ideas and his manner of expressing his thoughts. It's just that we had a little bit too much of H-tech everywhere (am I not a master of understatement?), and reaction may be pretty violent. Newton's Third law, sociological application, or Welcome to Real Life: try to get out at soon as you can, folks.
