Science Fiction, String Theory, and Star Trek What do these have in common? God. Yes, God, with a capital G. I’ve heard the comments directed at Trekkies: “Oh, what geeks,” and “They just dress up and live in a little pretend world, how adolescent.” How banal that Trekkies are mistreated and misunderstood so!
