Speed is distance over time. They maybe apparently traveling at warp speed through a wormhole, but it’s the distance traveled between the points on either side of the wormhole divided by the time it takes to travel from point to point that gives you your speed.

The entire point of life: Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True.

Michael season 4 epiosde 19

RIGHT!!! Great call Michael!

He also forgot the Xindi in Enterprise, who use some kind of slipspace tunneling type drive where they open a rift and enter it, then exit, and it comes out to several times faster than warp. Also he's not really getting how a wormhole works. You're not traveling tens of thousands of lightyears in 30 seconds, you're traveling between two points that are maybe a few hundred kilometers apart, whose positions in real space happen to be really far apart. It's one of the most basic concepts in sci-fi. Fold a paper in half and poke a hole in both sheets, then unfold it. You've just traveled the length of the paper while really only traveling the thickness of the paper.

Yes,thats was also on My mind.

What about the dimensional transporters - dangerous to the users I know

Arena Closer I thought for sure you were going to say "Burter" of the Ginyu Force 😅

Jake Miller Now that I confirm!! It's a Starfleet headquarters confirmed method of teaching a point in space fast: make the fly fly to that point and you try to smack it!!!

Haha right before I read this comment I had successfully smacked a fly with my hands. Guess I'm the fastest thing in the universe now. Also, my hands really hurt now.

@@azraelle6232 Ive done that a few times, I like to think its the handicapped flies I get.

It's kind of disconcerting when you think about; the average nerve conduction velocity for a Human is timed at about 250/1000ths of a second. The average fly's is timed at about 37/1000ths of a second. I know it's all about the size of the organism, but it's still kinda unsettling.

They are actually traversing the worm hole at impulse speeds. I dread to think what would happen if someone tried to go to warp inside - i expect they'd be stopped from doing so. or made to "never arrive" like the various ships that the Wormhole Aliens 'disappeared' one would imagine for good.

Common misconception, warp speed is a misnomer, as you are not actually moving. It's in the name actually. Warp drive is basically a type of folding system, where it is essentially compressing space in front of the craft while decompressing it behind the craft. In essence, the ship is not moving at all, but the universe around the ship is being moved instead. Basically, as scientist put it now, a cheat to get around the laws of relativity. Also on another point, Transwarp has been described as essentially going warp speed while at warp speed. They've reinvented transwarp multiple times in essence to try and squeeze a square peg into a round hole as the warp chart has changed over the various series (IE in TOS warp travel distance was actually just the factor squared to find out the speed, meanwhile TNG tried to making a chart that would allow for faster travel, while Voyager codified this warp 10 barrier of infinite speed) which has resulted in something that's not even warp drive but actually a jump gate system.

@Terra Silverspar TOS speed (in so far as they bothered with the sort of trifling small detail like "how long does it take to get from A to B?") was warp factor cubed, not squared. Otherwise yes.

it was mentioned in an episode in ds9, but basically you would reach the other side in billion pieces

I don't think the wormhole, Interphase, Spore Drive, or the Transwarp Conduit network should really count as they are all essentially shortcuts that link different points in space. Voth Transwarp is phenomenally fast and should be the definitive transwarp speed representative. +Terra Silverspar, Warp speed, is still accurate since the ship itself is still traveling from one spot to another at a definite velocity that has a limit. Coaxial Warp drive is the proper folded space transport technology and was covered in another episode of Voyager, where the ship disappears from point A and reappears at point B and does not traverse the intervening space. Just because it doesn't use chemical reactant propulsion doesn't mean there isn't apparent speed. Warp Drive uses the compression and expansion of space as propulsion. As to whether the ship or the space is moving, that's just a matter of perspective. On a side note, just about everyone has discarded Threshold from the canon and even the creators disown it, and it should be touched on.

Hell lets go for broke Going plaid

"My brains... are going into my feet...!"

My thought was of the quantum slingshot personally.

Funny thing about the _Excelsior_ (NX-2000): the only reason transwarp drive didn't work was because Scotty sabotaged it, but, they never revisited that.

H3zzard Transwarp for the Excelsior would have been equal to Warp 8.4 on the TNG Warp scale (Or Warp 14 on the TOS scale)

Klunk-klunkity-klunk-klunk---thbbbb

@MKDumas1981 Agreed. It came up in the technical manuals: Excelsior and Refit-Constitution were two competing types of next-generation warp drive, commonly called "transwarp" in the same way that for the last 20 years all video game consoles get called "next generation" and how video game graphics keep getting called "photorealistic" even though the only games that ever really looked that good were in the Myst series. Once the contest was won, the winning design was rolled out fleet-wide and the *next* great improvement got called transwarp.

By that logic the spore drive doesn't actually travel fast either, it uses the mycelial plane to teleport. But yeah I get what you mean.

@@StormsparkPegasus By that logic the warp drive itself doesn't count.

The ships are technically stable in warp travel too

In that case, you'd want to use the fastest ship, while flying through the wormhole, in order to maximise the wormhole. Of course, warp 10 renders the wormhole itself unnecessary but for the others this seems like a decent way to multiply it.

@@CptNem if we're talking the Star Trek universe, we've already determined that high warp can damage Subspace, so that might do bad things to a wormhole as well. You have to be careful when you're talking about breaking physics.

It's a matter of scale. The reason why warp 10 is considered the highest possible velocity is due only to how the TNG warp scale works. The speed of a ship as a multiple of light at any given warp factor increases exponentially. Warp 1 is the speed of light, warp 2 is 10, warp 3 approximately 40. After warp 9, the power to which you have to take the warp factor to get the speed as a multiple of C itself increases. If the warp scale were demonstrated by a graph, it would be a curve representing a simple exponential function, but with jerk occuring after x=9, and a vertical asymptote at x=10. Hence, warp 10 would be infinite velocity, and you'd have to add decimal after decimal to warp 9 to represent increasingly high non-infinite speeds. It's absurd, but the warp scale for TNG didn't really take into account such radical advancements in warp propulsion. The idea of warp 10 being the highest limit to warp speed isn't as stupid as people think. It's just that the show never properly explains what that looks like on the warp scale, or how that scale even works.

Not impossible. Just, you know… Infinitely Improbable.

@@Ivytheherbert yup because the universe is unending, theres no way to reach the end of the universe

The warp scale was recalibrated when the writers decided warp 10 should be considered infinite speed.

@@tommyxx516 Yes but All Good Things is an alternate future where the warp scale was recalibrated AGAIN after future advances (warp 10 is no longer infinite speed there). We are never given any reference for how fast their "warp 13" is compared to the warp 10 scale used in the rest of TNG. And that future was averted and didn't happen, so that is pretty much off the table.

Different speeds in different conduits is easier, the ones held open by the hub could be faster. The ones opened by each ship (as in TNG it seemed to be) would be slightly slower.

Or it works off of an exponential acceleration rather than a set speed. Because the 70000ly conduit was so long, it could be assumed that Voyager continuously accelerated until it exited. That would be a very convincing reason as to why Ent-D's average speed was MUCH slower. It would also be a good indication as to why the conduits only exist in our galaxy, and not beyond - perhas they become too unstable due to the speeds after certain disances.

I just figured the discrepancy was the result of old fashioned drag, which does explain alot. Everytime we have seen transwarp used the shorter the distance the faster the trip the longer the distance the exponentially slower the trip. It's possible transwarp works more like a controlled slingshot effect then the warp drive, using a vast energy burst to shoot the ship into a corridor and then due to some kind of drag effect the ships maximum upper speed limit decreases over time, until eventually the ship would fall out of Transwarp back into normal space, if it was left to do so. This effect is supported by how quickly transwarp technology burns out, in dark frontier voyager steals a Transwarp coil and after 20,000 light years of travel it burns out, It shows that transwarp flight is extremely harsh on ships even borg. So their must be a hell of alot of turbulance and resistance in those conduits.

That could explain the structures seen in some transwarp conduits. When I first saw those years ago, I'd imagined them similar to the support beams seen in mining tunnels. They could in fact be stabilizer rings to make the journey smoother while simultaneously assisting in maintaining speed and travel within the conduit.

That has got to be an awkward family reunion...

Spore drive can travel anywhere in 2 seconds so it's not possible for transwarp to be mycelial network

It surely is. Because it's not that easy, almost impossible. BTW the ship occupies one location in space with infinite possibilities in zero time, not 'all space at once'. Warp 10 is my favourite too. Take care!👾

He was moving pretty fast when he was hitting on Uhura in the bar.

Like you said, "He didn't even have that 'superpower' until Abrams." Really, though, if you think Abrams is bad, try watching STD. I dare you.

To be fair, for years now, among my friends, the "Kirk vs Picard" argument always ends with "The 'Picard Maneuver' is a is a battle tactic that can turn the tables on an attacker, while the 'Kirk Maneuver' is about picking up green chicks in bars."

Agreed, I doubt they could have done a better job of offending fans of the Trek universe if they'd tried. That's assuming they didn't actually set out to do so.

OriginalTharios, good call. I watched a few episodes of STD. Even with the (hopeful) attitude that it wasn't Star Trek, but instead just a generic sci-fi show. Sadly, the big plot holes & massive inconsistencies were too much to take. BTW, it most definitely did not feel like Star Trek. It kind of reminds me of how Stargate: Universe was a letdown to most SG-1 fans, but I lasted through more SG:U episodes than I did STD. :::shudder:::

so its more like a tachyon blink drive..? like a wave motion drive or something else that moves you into a higher plane to then drop you out at at/on a different point in space and time of the lower plane?

Pretty much and I got this idea from the old Carl Sagen Cosmos Tesseract explanation.

In the latest episode (What's Past is Prologue) They actually show them traversing the network and it looks just like the Borg transwarp network with tunnels and intersecting paths.

this network however does not link points in one univerise/ dimension but rather leads to countless different realities

If warp 10 is infinite velocity, can "touch" any point in the universe and be there practically "instantly", and have side affects, then what is Borgs warp 20 and why did it take much longer than "instantly" ? And by the time Enterprise D had contacted the Borg, do you think the Borg would have assimilated the knowledge of spore drive by now leaving the much slower conduits behind?

I always assumed that this was down to dialects. As in, there are a couple hundred dialects of "terran standard" on Earth, but several thousand languages that aren't considered standard. "Federation Standard" languages can be translated on a one to one basis on each other, so anything you say is completely legible in any other standard language. So Klingon Standard languages translate perfectly fine into whatever version of English they standardized (or French, if Picard is actually speaking French the whole time), but non-standard Klingon dialects are just ignored by the translator. So the translator will translate English just fine into other standard languages, but it has to be standard English. If you try and speak a regional dialect like "Newfie" or "Aussie" into it, everyone else will just hear gibberish. That's always been my assumption on how things worked, anyway. There is no on-screen canonical explanation for why some words aren't translated. The off screen explanation is either "it sounds cool" or "we didn't want to swear onscreen, so we made up an alien profanity to use instead".

I refuse imagining Picard citating Shakespeare in french

+Tarquinnff3 Klingons have an 'epic speech moment override' button for the universal translator.... I thought everyone knew that.

The scale got changed, like, infinite speed would be warp 15 or 20

@@DogsRNice well they end up become part of subspace it self because of the speed. We seen it episode of voyager. unless shuttle not capable of reading anything higher than 9.999

The ludicrous "Threshold" episode should be hard-decanonised. Since in TNG-DS9-VOY era warp speeds are defined on a logarithmic scale, progressive increases in speed would just yield progressively smaller fractions of 9.99999999999999999... I.e., the warp 10 within this system is not an actually achievable speed, but a numerical expression for purely hypothetical state of infinite speed, which presumably would be impossible to achieve in the actual physical universe. And if one were to imagine that somehow some physical object were to achieve such a state, and therefore, as defined by the show, occupy every single point in the universe, would that not mean that all matter in the universe would get instantly destroyed due to occupying the same space as the infinite velocity object (which should also get destroyed in an infinite but simultaneous number of collisions, and I can't even begin to imagine what that would mean)? Not to mention, that the object appearing in every single point in the universe would also overlap with itself in an infinitely large number of instances. And then to claim that this universe-wide physics-breaking scenario could be achieved by a couple of Starfleet officers tinkering with a regular shuttlecraft for a couple of days. And then to pile on the bizzare "accelerated evolution" concept, which assumes that all species have some predetermined evolutionary path (while actual evolution of a biological organism occurs in response to circumstances in environment it inhabits, which are not predetermined)...

P.S.: Even if the object only interacts with the subspace, would it not still infinitely overlap with itself, and IIRC on the show the energy released by subspace collisions still affected matter in physical universe - i.e. all universe still would get destroyed.

VOY: Threshold was not the *very worst* Trek of all time. TNG: Genesis has that distinction. By a narrow margin. At least Threshold had good technobabble. And ... sadly ... maybe also Star Trek: The Motion Picture. What an awful movie, lol.

Kes helps voyager cross Borg space

G argler I think you might be overestimating the spin time, but it’s funny none the less :P

The thing is the spoor drive was more like a wormhole but with a settable exit point (if they wanted to they could of jumped anywhere in the Galaxy instantaneously, well once they've spin up and jumped) it's bit more complex to as your in 2 both places at the same time but you can only be one copy so the item at the start or end has to be destroyed (I guess both would get destroyed or something very bad would happen if it did not)

When I learned one thing about "instant" transport, than that you should know where you're going. We don't want to land inside a moon or something.

Any thin from STD ( star trek discovery)is fucking stupid.

yes and no. the spore drive had only been proven to be in the Milky Way galaxy.

not fast enough either. After the warm up, the ship would be at one end in one frame and the other end the next frame. That is still infinitely slower than Warp 10, but our eyes wouldn't see it that way.

Cytherians. I think that was some form of wormhome technology myself. Barclay opened up a rift and they entered it and boom, Cytherian homeworld.

going back to the Voyager episode, and the Jump drive, the sling shot was actually made from a piece of the caretaker array. So I would actually like to see a how jump drive, warp drive, slipstream, Mental Drive and Hyper-drive all compare with one another. Also there was a warrior race that had technology similar to the borg in one of the episodes of voyager that took control of space fishers and built "Star Gates" within them, and used them to raid any planet at any time. They referred to Neelix and his people as the "Talax something or other" instead of "Talaxian". This was a people who voyager disturbed over 1000 years of stasis hybernation, that was bent on conquering what they controlled.

Mental Drive is the faster than light technological term i have coined for "The Nth degree" episode for star trek TNG, where Barclay becomes smarter and more sociable.

P M Talax-il-zay, was what it sounded like. You're talking about the Vaadwaur. Those subspace corridors are worth mentioning. The catapult is faster than warp drive, but, slower than anything else. The Borg spatial rift in "Scorpion". The Caretaker's displacement wave = 70,000 light years in a few minutes. Kes's telepathic push. Arturis's version of quantum slipstream. Qunior's spatial flecture. They really got around, didn't they? All those different methods, and they still relied on the rusty trusty Borg to get them home.

Agreed! the Vaadwaur corridors were somewhat similar to my understanding of "Star-gate travel". However, the corridors, the Borg rifts and the star-gates all sound superior to the "Warp Drive". Also i forgot to mention the episode Commander Sisko used "Spacial Eti's" from "Bajor" to Cardasia without the use of Warp Drive. Now, if they could only fix their "Holo-deck" problems. From TNG, DS9 to Voyager something almost always went wrong with the Holo-Decks

Yea, most of the spore drive time is the start up time

As well as the borg transwarp conduit

Yes for that episode taught us one inexplicable truth! That ejaculation at infinite speed results in kinky lizard fish babies!

Phoenixesper1 I'm pretty sure the producers retconned it out of existence too.

Yeah, but neither does Discovery.

actually we dont have to pretend.. only episode or show that has been officially erased from cannon.. so in retrospects threshold never happened.

That's the official position as well.

11:59 and The Fight would like a word...oh?? Once apon a Time and Fury too???

And after that episode, Janeway and the crew forget all about warp 10 and the possibility of further experimentation shortening their journey home. It's funny how that little starship explores amazing tech like slipstream, transwarp etc whilst Starfleet command back at home seem to lack the enthusiasm.

@@Mark-pr7ug To be fair, they have more pressing reasons to push the envelope and more exposure to new technologies unseen by the Federation.

Its not great. The only real way to explain it away is that the characters themselves didn't understand what happened, and something entirely different happened to cause the mutations. Fictional characters are capable of being dumb occasionally.

I've got you all beat. The absolute worst ST episode out of all of them, without fail, is Valiant. The DS9 episode where Red Squad in in charge of the USS Valiant. Some of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen, and I've seen The Last Airbender, the movie.

The destiny wasn't particularly fast (for the SG universe). It just had been going for a REALLY long time. Wormhole drive though... After that the wormhole that took the Destiny crew from the milky way to the Destiny is probably one of the fastest's methods of travel.

Good point. In fact now that I think about it, the Destiny crossed the equivalent of one galaxy a season. The original one in season 1 and the drone galaxy in season 2. Fast compared to your standard Federation ship, but compared to Atlantis and the Daedalus that is a snails' pace.

clearspira Yeah, Daedalus was roughly about 56 million c , and the Asgard Oniell was something like 3 billion c, I've been wanting to see Picard on the Daedalus (comic book crossover?) for years. It would be the ultimate in cool.

I'd say Andromeda wins the speed race, jumping between galaxies in seconds.

@@ricky302v8 Why though? Ancients' wormhole drive can transport you across the galaxy instantaneously. The same thing with their wormhole stargates.

i think that was Samual Cockings from Trekyards. EC thanked him at the end for the Voyager footage but i think he also did the Defiant

The spore drive travels 533.3 ly in 1second

I thought it was another galaxy
