| Oct 31, 2016 at 14:10 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | The problem is that although the leading edge can be seen moving with the naked eye, when the angle of attack changes the entire phaser beam remains straight (which requires at least a very fast particle stream otherwise it would look bendy). So it's at best inconsistent and, at worst, a nonsense... | |
