Where would you place Vulcan in relation to Earth and Alpha Centauri? Enterprise's 2nd season finale they were headed to Vulcan first before heading off for the Delphic Expanse to drop off T'pol, I don't remember the how many days it was going to take to get to Vulcan but it took them several weeks just to get to the Expanse. Star Trek 3 & 4, the distance it took to max-warp back to Genesis, then to Vulcan and back to Earth again made the time seem like a matter of hours.


I know you didn't add the TNG-scale in there but considering ST:First Contact, Just how far away is the Romulan Neutral Zone in relation to Earth? Shouldn't Picard have come back to a Borg infested Earth?

Love the video, even though deep down we all know that all federation starships travel at the speed of plot. ;)

As Picard said to Data after thwarting Sela: "Nicely done."

[Hzzard]

Thank you! Finally someone who can explain in dummy captain talk how fast 23c Warp speed is calculated. Much appreciated!

[SubscribeNot]

Well done! Really interested to watch a TNG era Warp video and/or alternate FTL drive videos.

[TheRealCobraBurnout]

Nice! The warp speed equation was well explained. Thank you

[justrosy]

Of course, nothing is allowed to break the speed of light, but I still like this video a lot! Thanks for making it!!!

[idkidk]

Amazing video, never knew this as I had only recently entered the Star Trek community. Thank you!

[TheDuck]

I know I'll never see it but my hope is one humans can travel at that speed and we can boldly go where no human has gone before. Great video as always hoss

[snoopymcqueen]

AWESOME VIDEOS. GREAT JOB, YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEOS.

[RKStrikerJK]

As others have said, this is a well-done episode. And yes, speed of plot and writers. ;) But all seriousness, good job. :)

Then you remember the sheer number of times Kirk ordered Sulu to travel at Warp 1.

[jhmcd]

Nice video. I've never known the conversion formula before. Actually, I never knew there was one.

[ussakira]

That was a really great video i enjoyed it very much I look forward 2 seeing your video on 24th Century Warp Speeds

[DieselxRobot]

The difference between TOS warp factors is a lot lower than I thought, now I can see why they changed the scale to be logarithmic

[bobbova]

very nice episode.you made the warp factors speed very easy to understand.

[schristy]

You left out one thing. What are we going to do when we get to Alpha Centauri ??? Are we going to have lunch, do some shopping, or just hang out at the Zócalo?? I am not going that far with out a plan. No way.

[BennyLlama]

FINALLY someone puts this in plain English! 😀 It's usually explained in a way that confuses even experts in astrophysics and/or quantum theory.

[roberthenryscott]

Cool...math wasn't my strong point. The way you explained it, was perfect.

[captainsinclair]

Damn. That’s a fast and large amount of damaged ship... LETS ADD A LITTLE MORE DAMAGE! 😂😂😂 but seriously, thanks for making this.
