That's a funny remark, considering that you've had a fun time brushing off differing points of view with little more than a blanket statement and no evidence or argument to support your rebuttal.

According to you. Not according to all.
quote: In addition, when I said "inertial stasis", I meant something along the line of the halting of all momentum and gravity within the field. I did not refer to temporal stasis.
Well then inertial stasis would be useless becasuse you would still suffer the same effects.
Explain something to me, then: what is the literal meaning of the word inertial stasis? Then explain how a term for a force that arrests all motion will not be effective in, well, arresting all motion?
quote: BTW, Mr Wizard resents the tone the previous post was presented in and he is fully sure that it is a wave that passes over you in a gradual manner because,
1) It looks like a wave
2) Moves like a wave
3) Acts like a wave (The Other Guys)
Kid, you ain't seen me a full tilt. You seem to be so hung up on observed phenomena, yet wholly discount theories that explain the observed phenomena. In short, you keep saying "They'd get killed by the ring transporter"?this way and that. The fact of the matter is, in the show they are not killed by transport, so all of the effects you've presented (inertial compression/disassociation) are null and void! If you can remove yourself from the mindset that Ring Transporters would kill its users (when they clearly DO NOT), you'd be well on your way in discussing this thread. Drop that charade and open your mind to the possibility.
