How Fast is warp drive in star Trek?


As fast as the plot of the episode demands.

The first rule of traveling at warp 10 is: No one ever mentions that you became a giant salamander and mated with another crew member and one of you had babies.

Something else to add to the Borg battle equation: The Borg cube (and the federation fleet) were in the typhon sector at start of the battle. The cube had to get to earth as well, once it’d had enough of destroying the fleet. This would have given our heroes extra time to reach earth, and save the day.

TOS VS TNG WARP SPEED. The only thing that makes sense is nothing make sense.

It wasn't dry at all. ^^ I love numbers so it was amazing. <3

I never knew the 23rd and 24th century speeds were so different! It is also a pretty good explanation for the weird warp scale in TOS.

You keep knocking these out of the ball park, hence why I keep coming back. Thank you.

[jonathangoode]

All of the trek verse videos are GREAT.

I wondered when you were going to engage with this topic and make it so.

You made this tricky subject easy to understand. Very helpful to use one destination and the travel time at different warp speeds.

[starsiegeplayer]

I dunno if I told you this before, but I love the art pieces you make for your thumbnails.

I loved the video, Something I'd like discussed someday is how The Enterprise ever reached Regula one on impulse power when they were over 12 hours from there when Khan attacked.

Very enlightening, your not wrong about the equation being complicated, great video as always my friend..

[lemarstokes]

Will you be doing a video on transwarp and slipstream technology?

[ZappaBlues]

Because of something I saw recently, every time I see 24th century, I think "Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a 1/2 century !!!!"

[psal]

I know everyone hates the Warp episode, but i love it! Janeway finally got laid. (really i just love the absurdity of the whole episode.)


Also you should talk about Quantum Slipstream.

I remember the funny scene where Trip gives a guided tour of engineering to a group of pilgrims and talks about the warp drive like they’re schoolchildren. Then it turns out at least one of them is a warp field theorist, and the others are probably working in similar fields. He’s happy to discuss how they regulate their matter/antimatter mix (which is always 1:1 ratio, by the way, if you recall that trick question on the test).

[zachz]

Nailed it, but I do think "Star Trek: Ships of the Line" gives the Sovereign class a maximum warp speed of 9.995.

[jmartin]

Thanks for the video. I wonder, if the math change to fit more realistic scientific expectations for the show or did it need to be changed because the warp technology changed? Not really a question I expect an answer to, just a thought. I just always found it funny that speeds exceeding warp 10 in the 23 century were more common than the supposed warp 10 barrier of the 24th

[jaspr]

Not dry at all, man. Very cool comparisons.

I would think Romulan space isn't too far from Vulcan. In the 22nd century T' Pol was already aware of them and the name Romulan. In the 24th century Romulus was sending an invasion force to Vulcan. In the 23rd century while at Earth Scotty said the Enterprise could have Spock back on Vulcan in 4 days (maybe at warp 6?)
