/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

No they are saying that since aging is the degradation of cells, being recreated by a transporter consistently would result in constant new cells that weren’t degrading like the old ones.
The flaw here is that the transporter recreates people in the same state they were in when they were destroyed to be tp’d, ensuring the cause for original degradation remains present and thus gaining continues
Unless, of course, the plot demands different. Notably in these episodes:
And of course the bio filters that explain why nobody gets any unexpected diseases when they visit planets.
Would childhood biological processes restart, if the cells were reset? Even if not, I feel like there would be complications if that was done to the brain, like sudden personality changes after your first teleport in a long time.
I'm not entirely sure how memories are stored in the brain but I feel like if all the neurons in a pathway were reset, it's affect the memory.
