What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?

What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?Transporting or "beaming" a person from one place to another.

Warp speed - the first time a craft had travelled at a speed greater than light.

The Borg sphere opens a time tunnel and travels through it

Assimilation. The Borg assimilate species to become Borg Drones

A being like Data, a robot with a positronic brain that looks human but can multi task in a big wayWhat are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?

Impossible?



Vulcans ...



Traveling to the past, messing around with history and not making inadvertent changes to the timeline (as my dad points out, even existing, breathing, anything creates minuscule changes to the position of air molecules, which over time will slightly alter the position of storms, etc, and therefore their severity, etc, and will affect different people, different people may die, etc and so on and so on ...). There is no safe way to time travel to the past!



The Borg being in space with no oxygen or air pressure ... they are part organic, the fluids that would HAVE to be inside them for them to have living organic tissue would not stay INSIDE them in space.What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?The only thing that is impossible is time travel. Warp travel and trasporter beams are somewhat improbable, and everything else is possible, just not with our current technology.What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?
disrupting the space time continuum and living to tell the tale?What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?Beings from another solar system landing on earth. As of today there is no positive proff that this has ever happened.

And why would you think they might only land in the USA. If one landed in say China, or Japan, or Iran, or Eqypt, do you think one of those countries would have told the rest of the world. Look here, we have a real space man.What are some aspects in the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, that are scientifically impossible?
Only one thing is impossible in principle.



We really could have evil cyborgs, intelligent androids, FTL (superluminal travel), time travel could be possible, hmm.. teleportation is a bit iffy...



The most silly thing in the movie is the information paradox.



Ryker tells Cochran 'a great man once said dont try and be a great man, just be a man, and let history be the judge'



Cochran asks who said that and Ryker says 'you did, 10 years from now.'



Who came up with the saying then? Ryker heard it from Cochran - and Cochran heard it from him! This is a temporal paradox because they were using a single timeline premise (It makes more sense to talk about quantum physics and the many worlds theory). There are other logical inconsistencies but this is the worst!
