| - The Manheim effect describes temporal disturbances and distortions caused by Dr. Paul Manheim's experiments with time in 2364. USS Enterprise-D science officer Data created the term. In that year, Manheim opened a dimensional window on Vandor IV. The repercussions were felt thousands of light years away, with time loops and other phenomenon occurring. Data sealed the original window, stopping the effect. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")
- The effect was first felt in 2364 by the crew of the USS Enterprise, which was in close proximity to the Vandor system. Investigating, the crew experienced the effect again, and learned that it was also experienced on the USS Lalo, a colony on Coltar IV, and in the Ilecom system, thousands of light years away. Questioning Dr. Manheim, they learned that the effect would continue unless the window into another dimension were to be closed.

| - The Manheim effect describes temporal disturbances and distortions caused by Dr. Paul Manheim's experiments with time in 2364. USS Enterprise-D science officer Data created the term. In that year, Manheim opened a dimensional window on Vandor IV. The repercussions were felt thousands of light years away, with time loops and other phenomenon occurring. Data sealed the original window, stopping the effect. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris") Shortly after that incident, the USS Scandalon, under the command of Steven Tecklenberg, was assigned to investigate Dr. Manheim's lab complex and the magnitude of the Manheim effect. Lt. Timothy Sinclair encountered several alternate versions of himself while on the mission. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "Reflections") The measure of how much time is affected by disturbances and distortions is measured against the Manheim-Hudec scale, much like earthquakes are measured against the Richter magnitude scale. (Star Trek: The Prospect Chronicles; Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions)
- The effect was first felt in 2364 by the crew of the USS Enterprise, which was in close proximity to the Vandor system. Investigating, the crew experienced the effect again, and learned that it was also experienced on the USS Lalo, a colony on Coltar IV, and in the Ilecom system, thousands of light years away. Questioning Dr. Manheim, they learned that the effect would continue unless the window into another dimension were to be closed. As Commander Data seemed to have an easier time withstanding the effects of the time distortions, Captain Picard ordered him to beam down to Manheim's laboratory alone to seal the breach. As Data prepared to close the window by adding a specific amount of antimatter, he experienced another distortion, wherein three versions of Data from different points along the time continuum appeared. Realizing that only one of them was in the correct time period for adding the antimatter, they merged as the antimatter was added at the correct time and the distortions ceased. Responding to Captain Picard, who asked if the breach was closed, Data stated that it was "well patched." (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris" ) According to the games Star Trek: Armada and Star Trek: Armada II, the temporal distortion of the Manheim Effect was later on weaponized by Starfleet as the Gemini Effect. Some Nebula-class starships were armed with the device. A localized temporal disturbance was used to create a duplicate of the starship. This is further seen in Star Trek Online where the "Manheim Device" can be used to create two duplicates of a Mobius class destroyer.
