    Nah, Scotty just rewrote the software as he went along. Of course, nothing says he didn’t also write in a self destruct to wipe out the program and the transparent aluminum, which is why history didn’t wind up changed by his actions.

      We have transparent aluminum now. It was first patented around the time the movie came out.

      It’s indeed quite hard, quite clear, and quite sturdy. It’s frequently used as bullet proof glass.
