    That’s a conspiracy theory I haven’t heard before. Enlighten me, how is the speed of light made up?

      I’m assuming OP means that the fictional warp drive and light speed drives from the television show and motion picture respectively, are not in fact real. But I could be totally off base and this random commenter on a Star Trek forum created a conspiracy theory nobody has heard of. /s

      For one you can not go the speed of light, it is not possible.

      My point is that the spacecraft in both star wars and star trek behave in a way that suites the plot. If the writing needs a craft to to take longer to get somewhere then they will add distance to the journey or decrease its speed.

      It is a waste of time trying to argue about fictional story telling
