I'm not sure, that you have meant me, but I have not dropped this point:SailorSaturn13 wrote:As you deviously dropped this point, I shall push it back again:Kane Starkiller wrote:First of all most of the energy a star emits goes straight "up". Only a miniscule amount is reflected sideways.
ANY PART OF SUN radiates energy equally in all directions, including inside, but also to all sides. It's just with the distance that all vectors appear away from Sun.

Elaborate that statement. That contradicts what I have learned. As far as I know, each atom in a sun is very energized and will emit photons in all directions. That means that light is going from each point of the sun in all directions and not only (or mainly) in a straight line from the center of the sun away.Kane Starkiller wrote:First of all most of the energy a star emits goes straight "up".

And I don't respond to Praeothmin if he doesn't read the threat after I have asked him to do it and then even lies to me. I have counted at least four posts which have dealed inter alia with that question [1], [2], [3], [4].
And I see no reason to further argue with Kane Starkiller.
I have asked him to provide a better theory, how the navigational deflector is working. He hasn't done it. Thus my theory is still the best theory we have.
He is correct, saying that we don't know subspace physics. But as far as I know and as far as he probably knows, the navigation deflector was always described as a device that is used to steer space debris, asteroids, microscopic particles and other objects that otherwise might collide with the ship, out of its path. I have never heard that it is a shield with which these objects collide.
My problem is, that I have no source, he would accept as canon, that is describing the working of the navigational shield. Maybe there is no such source and that is comming only from secondary literature like the Technical Manual (which I don't have).
A further problem is, that in the show, the terms navigation shield, navigation deflector, main shield or main deflector are not proper keeped apart. It is dificult to ascertain if there is a difference between the navigational deflector and the deflector shield.
My few leads are
- the TOS episode: The Cage, in which they are reffering to a "Metorite Beam".
- the TOS episode: The Paradise Syndrome, in which the Enterprise has used its deflector to attempt to shift a large asteroid off course when it threatened the planet Amerind.
