Quote:The opening of the black gate in LOTR seems to be compatible with known Troll physics.

Irrelevant as (according to canon), the Morannon are magical gates, under Sauron's personal control.

Quote:I always rationalized the torpedo and phaser sounds thusly - the firing creates a strong electromagnetic field which induces vibration in nearby ship hulls resulting in the perceived sound Smile

Reasonable, but this doesn't explain why, in wide shots with the POV outside any of the ship, we still hear the weapons (we also hear their impact on targets).
