Notice
A theoretical scientist is someone who practice science on a pure theoretical level. Applying a theory into practice is left to others.
Fields of research of a theoretical scientist can be in one off the already known fields such as, physics, biology, mathematics, or archaeology.
Scientists
- Albert Einstein, a 20th century Earth theoretical physicist and founder of the Theory of General Relativity. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")
- Professor Stephen Hawking, also a 20th century Earth theoretical physicist with principal fields of research in theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. (TNG: "Descent, Part I")
- Leah Brahms, a theoretical physicist and engineer of the Galaxy class starship, Theoretical Propulsion Group. She designed the engines for the Galaxy class and eventually became the Senior design engineer. (TNG: "Booby Trap";"Galaxy's Child")
- Crewman Mortimer Harren of the Federation starship USS Voyager had five advanced degrees in theoretical cosmology. (VOY: "Good Shepherd")
- Shres, an Andorian scientist who proposed a three dimensional theoretical representation of a four dimensional time gate. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
- Hannah Bates, a colonist on Moab IV was a talented theoretical physicist. She came up with the idea to create a multiphase tractor beam to save their colony from an approaching stellar core fragment. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")
- Doctor Serova, a Hekaran scientist who developed the theoretical models behind her theory that warp fields were dangerous, at least in their region of space. According to her preliminary research those same warp fields caused a shift in their homeworld's gravitational system. Which eventually would make their planet un-inhabitable. The Federation Science Council evaluated her theory and dismissed it. To prove her theory was right, she took her ship and caused a warp core breach. After the effects of the detonation ebbed away a subspace rift was formed, proving her theory was correct. (TNG: "Force of Nature")
Theories
- The Daystrom Institute developed the theory behind a tomographic imaging scanner capable of multiphasic resolution. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
- In the 24th century breaking the warp ten barrier was considered a theoretical impossibility. In 2372 warp ten was reached by Tom Paris and Kathryn Janeway of the Federation starship USS Voyager in a modified shuttlecraft. (VOY: "Threshold")
- Starfleet's most experienced theoretical scientists were consulted on how to make James Moriarty exists outside the holodeck. They did not find a solution. (TNG: "Ship in a Bottle")
Persons in relation to...
- Nilani Kahn wanted to study theoretical quantum physics. Her husband Torias Dax eyes always glazed over the moment she brought up this discussion. (DS9: "Rejoined")
- Although not a scientist, Q provided theoretical guidance for Geordi La Forge's analysis of the Bre'el satellite. (TNG: "Deja Q")
- Sek, Tuvok's son, found exo-linguistics too theoretical and chose to study musical composition instead. (VOY: "Repression")
Background
The fields of research of Stephen Hawking are not mentioned in the episode 'Descent, Part I' . Because he plays himself in this episode, it is save to assume he also had the same fields as the 'real' Hawking.
