I just did a search and it seems there are a whole bunch of ships named Enterprise, including the one Alelou mentioned!

There have been two aircraft carriers called Enterprise if I remember correctly.

Trektionally we shouldn't forget about the so-called ringship XCV-330 Enterprise

Ring ship? Hmmm. Looks like the Humans were trying to copy the Vulcans. Understandable in the earlier phase of their development of warp drive. I am glad they then went with the saucer design emphasizing their own ingenuity and that it eventually became the standard hull configuration for an interplanetary Starfleet.

Well, the ringship design predated the Vulcan ship designs seen on ENT (in real life of course, not in the Trekverse). But maye that's why ENT did what they did, implicitly retconning why that old ringship seen on the wall in TMP looked like that.

Matter Doesn’t Matter

God, it appears, is a Trekkie. (God help us.)

Dr. Anton Zeilinger, an Austrian physicist, is becoming a rock star of science for his work in quantum teleportation, which I know very little about but which I think I may have achieved backstage one night in Berlin in the early 1990s. At any rate, it seems to have something to do with teleporting properties or bits of information, not physical objects; even though Dr. Zeilinger plays down the possibility of a “Star Trek” moment, his breakthroughs are catching the attention of the nonscientific world for their metaphysical implications. His own version of E=mc2 ends in a cosmic punch line: that when it comes to the origin of the universe, information matters more than matter.

Could it be that God is a nerd?
