I'd bet that no less than 20% of the dialogue in Star Trek is dedicated to quasi-physics jargon explaining the "anomalies" they experience every episode. Here's just one example similar to the questioner's case (invisible bubbles in spacetime in which time is flowing at different rates). I bet somewhere on the interwebs there are hardcore geeks debating whether Captain Picard should have gotten blisters on his finger when he made a smiley face on the steam coming from the warp core breech while suffering from "temporal narcosis."
I like both answers and agree lots of people don't care about the machinery of plot devices, but there are enough Enterprise Technical Manuals and other merchandise making lots of money to show that there's a healthy market of people that do.
