Star Trek's warp-capable space ship is a fictional analogy for nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, which are designed by geniuses to be used and maintained at sea by people who are not geniuses and who do not understand all the ins and outs of how atomic energy works.

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people today using computers without understanding how transistors work or which register they're writing to at any given moment. Many of these people also drive cars without understanding how gears can shift or how the radial motion of the main drive shaft gets transferred in the transverse direction to the drive axle. I suppose a few of them wear clothes without having ever sheared a sheep and without knowledge of the best way to felt wool.

When you’re out in the infinite empty of space many light years from any livable environment, you damn well better know how your warp drive works to be able to fix it, and that is what Star Trek portrayed.

You've ever seen a star trek episode? (The real ones, not the modern crap).

Even the guy pushing the button for the teleporter is some kind of technical genius.
