Interesting, but because of the words "phase space" I kept expecting them to relate general relativity to thermodynamics somehow, since that's the physics context I'm used to seeing them in. But it ends up just being a "measly" 8 dimensions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_ensemble

And here I thought we'd end up with discussions of Star Trek, which I'm reasonably sure used phase space as the technobabble for something or another. I don't remember what, exactly, it was supposed to be there, but I suspect there were dangerous aliens living in it or something like that.
