Episode "Wink of an Eye", TOS

This is one of my favorite episodes in old Trek. In german the title of the episode is "Was summt denn da?", which means what is there humming? I like this title a lot, as it indicates that every time you hear something humming around (like a mosquito) it could be a visitor from another timeframe. So think twice before killing your next mosquito!

Now I learn that time itself isn't as fixed as we thought it was. If you change the spin of a photon the photon itself changes its speed! So Kirks slow travelling phaserbeam is a probability we have to think of when we start building the ship that gets us out of here. Have a look (and be prepared, because Einstein was not right):

The speed of light is not constant

If you want to read on, here's the rest of the naked time series:

I'm reeling to bet you anything but it's not the ships that move through space but it is space that moves around us. When you learn how to manipulate that you can travel almost anywhere at any speed. Potentially also through time as well.

In fact I am talking about everything. Cars boats planes and even people
