I would like to know if it is written anywhere that the 24th Century Spock showed scientists in the 23rd Century how to make Red Matter. This is in reference to the Spock that was time warped back to the 23rd Century in the 2009 movie Star Trek. I am thinking that if he did so, then it is proba...

Tutaminis is a very useful ability because it allows a Jedi to stop blaster bolts and lightsaber attacks. But how can someone learn this without losing a hand? This is how it plays out in my mind: "Ok, so now I'm going to stab your hand with my lightsaber. Be sure to remember your training." ...
