Scientists

Theories

  • Starfleet's most experienced theoretical scientists were consulted on how to make James Moriarty exist 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")
  • 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.
