Lt. Commander Data playing Tri-Dimensional Chess. This is a very difficult game, but Data can play at a high level because he is a super intelligent android.

Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger

he has a positronic brain
positrons are the anti-particle of the electron
there would be no benefit to using positrons instead of electrons, as they would behave identically in isolation
the only problem is that we live in a universe that overwhelmingly is matter more than anti-matter, and so the positrons would be annihilated almost instantly and his brain would explode

I'm pretty sure it used both (since it [the brain I know data is alive{probably}]is made of matter and matter has like one or two electrongs)

Your fortune: Outlook good

>>12758969
I always assumed that it used science fiction technology to utilize the positrons for better and faster calculations.

Your fortune: Excellent Luck

I'm guessing that we will use non-naturally occurring "particles", states of matter, rare created properties for computation or other things in the future.

Its not really sci fi its fantasy in space using magic except the magic is described with vaguely scientific words

Well yes. But isn't that what sci fi is?
>>
>>12759104
Not all sci fi is as much fantasy though. The Expance for example its mostly "realistic" despite being made up shit. Although there's probably a lot of time compression in the travelling. Battlestar Galactica too, apart from the jump drives it was bascially an aircraft carrier in space firing regular bullets and missiles. Star Wars on the other hand, there is no physical way light sabers could ever work, its just a magic sword. They all are bullshit but some are more plausible and grounded in real physics as well as realistic speculative nonsense

See, I disagree. It could be a sort of contained plasma, or solid light. And I feel like this is where Sci-Fi shines. Where it comes up with something that could be achieved long term but it isn't clear how you'd do it currently. Lightsabers are still just magic swords in principle though. They work in Star Wars because of the Force. Which doesn't seem like a science fiction thing.

In the context of Star Trek, all of the technology is based on known physics or physics that are supposed to have been discovered in the future. There is no magic in Star Trek. The Q Continuum is understood to be an extra dimensional plane of existence which is theorized in contemporary science.

Your fortune: Average Luck
