minus-squarecordlesslamp@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoDon’t be ridiculous. We all know it’s gonna be “Football field per Superbowl Season”.

minus-squareben_dover@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoIsn’t warp just light speed? I was under the impression that warp 1 is the speed of light, and eg warp 7 being 7x the speed of light
minus-squareknightly the Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoNope! Warp factors aren’t linear, they’re logarythmic until like warp 9.6 where they go exponentially towards infinity at warp 10. https://www.startrek.nl/sites/default/files/sbs/images/database/misc/warp_chart.gif
