Message-ID: <221@wjvax.UUCP> Date: Wed, 17-Oct-84 18:03:52 EDT Article-I.D.: wjvax.221 Posted: Wed Oct 17 18:03:52 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 19-Oct-84 06:16:52 EDT Organization: Watkins Johnson, San Jose, Calif. Lines: 15 Heard somewhere that warp 1 is the speed of light. From "star trek the motion sickness" this appears to be the case. So what's warp 2? Certainly not merely 2 times lightspeed. Galactic distances would be too great. Does anyone know the relationship between warp numbers and velocity? Side note: We're probably talking psudovelocity, as they never *actually* exceed the speed of light, but warp space so distances get smaller. -- "Trivia is important."
