For instance, if we want to reach for the stars physically with science and technology, to climb a ladder to the stars with science and technology, and having been briefed on all of our imaginative Star Trek scenario hypotheses, are we asking the right questions about the stars if we are still having trouble getting there?
Or, are the stars actually not what science thinks they are yet something more in-line with how we formulate Star Trek, namely a type of imaginative expression of our consciousness? Could the stars be an apparition for instance, a great natural hologram?
When is a spade a spade?
