Is that the same esteemed Vulcan Science Directorate that assigned a female science officer to the NX-01, right when she was about to go in heat? ;O)
They simply cannot integrate any natural event that is not logical. No exceptions.

Replying within Star Trek mode: At least our universe is somewhat consistent. Name the three biggest phisics errors of Star Trek in descending order of energy overdrain.
Jerry
Wha???
Don't know about that - but I thought it was funny that on one episode, two crewmembers (LaForge was one, I believe) were "phased" such that they easily passed through walls and furniture, yet they continued to walk on the decks with no problem. ?!?!

Of course - the phase shift was biaxial, perpendicular to the walls but parallel to the floor. Orthogonality. Doh!
But Captain Beverly Crusher went nthrough a sun on it. In the ship!
And as is clearly fatual, can go Warp 13.

If you gould generate a field such that it had 2 hard faces magnetically speaking and phased in three most controllable directions and planes, one could have a really cool tactical advantage with selectability.
Jerry
Yeah, that's what she WANTED him to believe.... ' '
Oldest line in the book - it's like a human blonde saying "tee hee, I think I'm drunk!"
It is amazing the sociological insight you get from rmr :)
Jerry
Sometimes it's amusing too. ; )

At first I thought they could technobabble it with someth> > > >
What was the solution?

I figured there was something about the grav plating that interfered with passage of a phased object. Brane theories use extra dimensions, and the extra dimensions could be the same ones used by the plating to fake gravity.
A far bigger problem is the ability to see. If you can see, then you can interact with photons. At the very least, you ought to be able to see two retinas hanging in space. Even if the retinas aren't perfect at absorbing photons, they'd be visible in all but the brightest rooms.
