Dan GuntherHOST
That's really awesome.
Brandi JackolaHOST
I have to say something about White Holes.
Brandi JackolaHOST
Because I am a child.
Brandi JackolaHOST
No, don't be like that.
Ken GagneHOST
Jared, would you please give us a summary of Season 4, Episode 10, Tomorrow's Enterprise?
Jared KyliffHOST
Well, the Enterprise shows up to investigate a white hole.
Jared KyliffHOST
What is a white hole? I don't know.
Jared KyliffHOST
But they show up to investigate a white hole, which is supposedly, theoretically, according to what they say in the episode, the opposite end of a black hole.
Jared KyliffHOST
Cool.
Jared KyliffHOST
But somehow through this process, Uhura becomes linked to herself about a year in the future when the Enterprise is investigating a black hole in the same physical place as the white hole.
Jared KyliffHOST
So physically in the same location.
Jared KyliffHOST
On board an Enterprise now commanded by Kirk.
HawkHOST
So let us tackle tomorrow's enterprise.
HawkHOST
All right, we begin at the edge of a white hole with Ohura back from an academy refresher course and a new infatuation from Montgomery Scott.
HawkHOST
A strange energy and musical notes from the white hole leaves the Enterprise damaged and trapped in a tractor beam.
HawkHOST
While seeking answers to the anomalous signal, Ohura hears Scotty call out to her in panic just before an explosion.
HawkHOST
And then Scotty's saying everything is fine.
GiraffeHOST
it's like we don't talk about this
HawkHOST
um i thought it was neat i didn't know between them i mean like
ErikHOST
yeah I love the idea of this white hole.
MattHOST
And Pete, glad to be here as we roll into this week's mission briefing for the episode.
PeteHOST
As the Enterprise encounters an unusual White Hole, Nyota Ahura records a personal log on Stardate 2873.2, having returned from the Starfleet Protocols refresher course.
PeteHOST
The mission is to send a probe into the White Hole, and she will listen to what's inside.
PeteHOST
As she beams aboard, Scotty checks his breath and shoots his shot.
PeteHOST
But Ahura has to get to the bridge, and she asks if they can talk later.
PeteHOST
In front of the viewscreen, Captain Pike tells her it's good to have her back, and La'an asks her to update on all the new protocols later? Number one wants to know too, and Ortegas calls them nerds.
PeteHOST
But Uhura says, you never know what's going to happen next, and she wants to be ready.
MattHOST
There is the question about the ship's proximity to the White Hole.
Henry Alonzo MyersGUEST
[laughs]
Cameron HarrisonHOST
Uh, talk about white holes, which at first I was like, "I've never heard of a white hole.
Cameron HarrisonHOST
What, what are these writers-"
Henry Alonzo MyersGUEST
Oh, oh, it's-
Cameron HarrisonHOST
[laughs]
John T. BouldsHOST
[laughs]
Henry Alonzo MyersGUEST
And what we are suggesting is that black holes and white holes exist, and space babies, uh, exist but in a completely separate space.
Cameron HarrisonHOST
Ah.
speaker_4HOST
CBS Studios production.
speaker_4HOST
A white hole.
speaker_4HOST
Stunningly, very, very pretty effect for the white hole.
speaker_4HOST
What?
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Did she...
speaker_4HOST
A unique and rare event.
speaker_4HOST
Sorry, they've gone to a white hole and it's a unique and rare event.
speaker_4HOST
What? It can't be unique and rare, for God's sake.
speaker_2HOST
A wormhole would have worked because a wormhole can apparently be in one place in space and its aperture or where it comes out the other side could be in a different time.
speaker_2HOST
that's like mathematically possible under what we think or how we think wormholes could work so that is based on some loose scientific idea anyway no they use a white hole which they are there to do an experiment to see if a white hole really is the sort of exit for a black hole so they've got a black hole they've got a white hole they're connected stuff gets sucked in one and they get blown out the other I've read about white holes.
speaker_2HOST
That is not what they are.
speaker_2HOST
They are a theoretical thing.
speaker_2HOST
It would break the laws of thermodynamics and things.
speaker_2HOST
So they probably don't exist.
speaker_2HOST
The other thing is, at one point, Spock says, well, white holes and black holes can change time.
speaker_2HOST
No, you get time distortions because of the gravitational effect.
AlexHOST
It's not obvious that he's being kidnapped or probed until, well, at least probably, what, three quarters of the runtime through? Up until then, you'd be very easily forgiven for assuming that it's basically a sort of time slip.
AlexHOST
It's like Red Dwarf's White Hole.
AlexHOST
which is basically where I thought we were going.
JamesHOST
Yeah, you do get that feeling about 15 minutes into the episode.
AndrewHOST
That is brilliant.
AndrewHOST
Could have done with more of that in this episode.
AlexHOST
And as we already alluded to, Red Dwarf's White Hole, which precedes this.
AndrewHOST
I think the ending feels like it's kind of like, we've written this episode, but we don't know where this plot's going.
speaker_3HOST
right? Yes, exactly.
speaker_3HOST
Now, for those of you who know Rovelli from his massive hits like Hell Go Land or White Holes, you know, this Italian theoretical physicist has a habit of completely, utterly melting your brain.
speaker_4HOST
He really does.
speaker_4HOST
What's fascinating here is how Rovelli manages to take these impenetrable monumental concepts, specifically quantum mechanics and the behavior of black holes, and translates them into something the lay human mind can actually hold and manipulate.
TJ MarboisGUEST
right? There's a physicist, Carlo Rovelli.
TJ MarboisGUEST
He just wrote a book called White Holes.
TJ MarboisGUEST
white holes, and white holes in his book emerge from black holes.
TJ MarboisGUEST
Black holes and white holes are related to each other.
TJ MarboisGUEST
And this is all from his mathematical background, right? I mean, this is really smart people.
TJ MarboisGUEST
And I thought, isn't that interesting how the yin and the yang are like white and black holes that sort of interface with each other? Are we reaching a point where philosophy, religion, and science are merging? And we need to awaken to that idea.
