Aldaron,
Actually TOS was better researched and ususally put greater emphasis on "good science" than the series that followed.
It just that what was good science in 1965 isn't good science in 2001. And science always took a back seat to story considerations.
BTW- Technically, there is a relationship between magnetic fields and gravity fields. A ship could use an magenetic field as a viable way to increase velocity, especially one using an ion propustion system. Woundn't let you time travel as in TREK, but then nothing else does either (Thats why we call it a TC show).</font>
