That wasn't what I was getting at. Â If you try to pull two things apart by holding them in midair and only pulling on one of them, you won't have much success. Â Unless Picard ordered full reverse, this above scenario is akin to what Shinzon tried. Â An impact like what we witnessed should have left the ships firmly wedged together.
All this physics is making my head hurt. Â *goes back to his chemistry*[/quote

All right, I think I see what you mean. It's a fair observation. Maybe Shinzon ordered some of his henchmen to "get out and push".
Which raises another question: Does the Romulan version of Starfleet have its own version of "redshirts"? :smile:[/color
