Lay Physics Review was a 23rd and 24th century academic journal accessible aboard Federation starships in the late 2360s decade.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2368, Data read an article from Volume 217, Issue 33 of the journal during his database search for ways of detecting cloaked Romulan starships that had evaded a tachyon detection grid by traveling through a region saturated with tachyons. The article was titled "Experimental Measurements of Tachyon Propagation". After reviewing a few dozen journal articles, Data concluded that such a vessel would temporarily project high-energy tachyons into subspace, emissions that could be revealed with a level-six, high-energy burst from a photon torpedo. When the USS Sutherland fired such a torpedo, it exposed three hidden D'deridex-class warbirds that immediately withdrew. (TNG episode: "Redemption")
