    I’m not a Trek connoisseur but by knowing a little about human nature it’s easy to see it couldn’t be. Such a technology would require resources to be invented that, in a capitalistic society, would have all but assured the slavery or destruction of civilization under the burgueoise, much like AI is doing to us now. The canon I know is limited to, like, three series, and the earliest I recall is that the technology had to be given to humans by another species.
