There was an episode of TNG where the crew was being eaten alive by “inter-phasic” aliens and Dr. Crusher could only see them by using her I P Scanner (tee hee). So my question is: how does Starfleet know they wont phase into a layer of spacetime inhabited by, say, giant spaceship eating worms?
“Why do you need another warp 5 core? These things are hard to make, you know!”
“Well, we plugged the last two you gave us together… In case you’re wondering, we did NOT hit warp 10, however, we found all kinds of new radiations to study!”

That’s the neat part, they don’t!
This just reinforces my head canon that other species are terrified of humans for being so reckless with technology.
