    How do molar mass and molecular mass differ?

    According to Einstein's theory mass expands as it nears the speed of light. Once an object reaches the speed of light, which cannot happen according to Einstein's theory, supposedly the mass of the object would reach infinity. With that said, why can people from 'Star Trek' travel faster than the speed of light?

    As "Star Trek" writers strive to stay scientifically consistent, how do the Changelings in "Deep Space Nine" get around the law of conservation of mass?

    Welcome to my quiz about Danielle Steel's novel "Star". It is my favorite novel by her. It's actually been a while since I've read the book myself so my questions aren't too detailed or difficult. Enjoy!
