Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.

Zefram COCHRANE: Believe me, Captain, immortality consists largely of boredom.

"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” received on June 30 and published September 26, and which reconciled Maxwell's equations for electricity and magnetism with the laws of mechanics by introducing major changes to mechanics close to the speed of light. This later became known as Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Special relativity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time. In Albert Einstein's original pedagogical treatment, it is based on two postulates:
1. The laws of physics are invariant (i.e., identical) in all inertial systems (i.e., non-accelerating frames of reference).
2. The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source.
It was originally proposed by Albert Einstein in a paper published 26 September 1905 titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". The inconsistency of Newtonian mechanics with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism and the lack of experimental confirmation for a hypothesized luminiferous aether led to the development of special relativity, which corrects mechanics to handle situations involving motions at a significant fraction of the speed of light (known as relativistic velocities). As of today, special relativity is the most accurate model of motion at any speed when gravitational effects are negligible.

Special relativity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
one of the consequences of special relativity is that no information signal or material object can travel faster than light

Dr. MCCOY: That's a pretty far out story.
Captain KIRK: Mister Cochrane, do you have a first name?
Zefram COCHRANE: Zefram.
Captain KIRK: Zefram Cochrane of Alpha Centuri, the discoverer of the space warp?
Zefram COCHRANE: That's right, Captain.
Dr. MCCOY: But that's impossible.

SPOCK: You say we'll be unable to get the ship to function again?
COCHRANE: Not a chance. There's some sort of damping field down here. Power systems don't work. Take my word for it.
SPOCK: You don't mind if we continue to try?
COCHRANE: Go right ahead. You've got plenty of time.
KIRK: What about you, Cochrane? How did you get here?
COCHRANE: Marooned, I told you.

Skinner: Oh, I hope I didn't miss the floor show.
Bart: Nope.
Skinner: Is Roxanne back?
Bart: Yep.
Skinner: Did she, uh, get my flowers?
Bart: She did.
Skinner: [Finally noticing his fourth-grade nemesis] Hello, Bart.
Bart: Hello, Principal Skinner.
Skinner: This is the National Air and Space Museum, isn't it?

Er, uh, well... eh, in light of these new facts, of which I now realize I was largely aware, I must take action. All in favor of demolishing our beloved burlesque house, raise your hands.
-- Mayor "Diamond Joe" Quimby, "Bart After Dark"
Few do, until the Citizens' Committee on Moral Hygiene turn around and stare. All hands spring up.
Jasper: [whispering] Are they talking about the bordello?
Abe: No! The burlesque house. So just keep your mouth shut.

(from internet transcript)
Ned rings.
Belle: [through intercom] Who is it?
Ned: Uh, it's an angry mob, ma'am. Could you step outside for a twinkle while we knock down your house?
Belle: Just a minute.
Rev. Lovejoy forces the gates open, and the mob walks in, faced by Belle and the girls, who walk out of the house. After a brief bit of name-calling, the crowd begins to break apart the house.

Bart After Dark [ The Simpsons ]
Original Airdate in U.S.: 24-Nov-96
Homer declares that if they destroy the burlesque house, they are destroying a part of themselves. Follows a musical number which slowly wins the heart of all mobsters.
Ned: Well, I'm convinced. The house stays.
Lovejoy: This house is a very, very, very fine house.
Marge arrives hell-bent for leather on a bulldozer. "Here I come, everybody!"
Ned: Well, we all changed our minds.
Wiggum: Yeah, now we love the house.
Marge: What about the sleaze and the depravity?
Helen: It was a very convincing song, Marge!
Marge: Well, I also have a song to sing. [flaming arrow pass by her head] Don't make up your mind until you hear both songs. [clears throat, coughs] [singing off key] Morals and ethics and carnal forbearance...
Meanwhile, she hits the brake lever of the bulldozer, which tears down part of the Maison Derriere. Oops.
Marge: Uh... sorry.
Lovejoy: Thanks a lot, Marge. That was our only burlesque house.
Marge asks how she can possibly ever make it up? "Oh, there's a way, Mom," Bart answers smugly.
At what remains of Maison Derriere, Marge is doing a ventriloquist act with a doll that looks just like her.
Marge: So, Twiggy, I hear you and your husband, Woody, just had a baby. What did you name him?
"Twiggy": Chip.
[Rim shot. No laughs.]
Homer: Take it off!
Bart: [as a bouncer] All right, Dad, you've been warned, let's go.
