Maybe a side effect of the Structural Integrity Field? :-) When you're dumping boatloads of energy into the hull, after all... it doesn't seem to be hard to generate gravity, given energy. A minor amount of magnetism should be easier. The hull isn't just tritanium, incidentally, unless things simplified considerably since the time of the Enterprise-D. (ST:TNG Tech Manual, standard issue office literature, and there is no "titanium" at all in the Enterprise's hull, TYVM ;-) - but there are several layers of tritanium). > PS: Magnetic boots are only a help if your learning curve is > ferromagnetic... I make you a deal, Terry... you _show_ me a learning curve, and we will see if it is ferromagnetic. :-) Grin, ...
