Quotes from Star Trek 28 The City on the Edge of Forever

Capt. Kirk: Arrives where? Honolulu, Boise, San Diego? Why not Outer Mongolia, for that matter?
Spock: There is a theory. There could be some logic to the belief that time is fluid, like a river, with currents, eddies, backwash.
Capt. Kirk: And the same currents that swept McCoy to a certain time and place might sweep us there, too.
Spock: Unless that is true, Captain, we have no hope.

In the New move Star Trek by Bad Robot, they really took this and ran with it. You could almost see the currents and eddies. And all the sky-diving and beautiful atmouspheric footage hinted at the analogy.

What I'm trying to do in my new project is to take this and run in a slightly different heading. It's time to review the language of chaos theory. I'll keep you posted.
