Warp speed:

Results 1 to 13 of 13
  1. #1

    Default Warp speed:

    For ideal conditions, such as are found in interstellar space, the speeds of warp factors (WF) are calculated using either of two formulae :

    Up to Warp 9 :

    V/c = WF^(10/3)

    Where V is ship's velocity, and c is the speed of light (electromagnetic energy)

    Beyond Warp 9 the formula becomes somewhat more complex.
    It is best approximated by :

    V/c = WF^[<(10/3)+a*(-Ln(10-WF))^n>+f1*((WF-9)^5)+f2*((WF-9)^11)]

    Where a is the subspace field density, n is the electromagnetic flux, and f1 and f2 are the Cochrane refraction and reflection indexes respectively. Under ideal conditions values of a = 0.00264320, n = 2.87926700, f1 = 0.06274120 and f2 = 0.32574600 can be expected within a "normal" area of deep interstellar space.

    An object at warp 10 travels at infinite speed, occupying all points in the universe simultaneously.

    To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

    i know what electromagnetic flux is!
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    I think I'm going to have to check/raise for information because I am lost...

    You should fold.

    I can beat Super Mario Brothers 2 in an hour by using 3 warp's... if that is any help

    Technically you wouldn't be travelling then, since you are already there.

    SMB2 was gayyyyyyyyy.

    SMB3 on the other hand was an all-time classic, and I think that's the one you are referring to...

    .
    An object with mass cannot travel at or above the speed of light, letalone infinite speed. Therefore this is impossible based on laws of physics, namely the fabric of spacetime.

    I actually enjoyed SMB2 as it was different from the norm. And this is the game i was talking about. You cant even warp in SMB3. You have to use the Whistle or Flute (I cant remember what it was called). There is no warp.
