Back in my younger years, I had a ST tech book. Warp speed was exponential, not linear. (kinda like how we measure earthquakes on the richter scale)keith wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 11:14 amI always considered Warp 1 = C; Warp 2 = 2C, etc. But I also considered that it might have made sense if Warp 1 = C and Warp 2 = C2, etc.
I never looked up to see if Roddenberry had a 'style manual' to ensure consistency.

To a point since warp speed is not actually going faster than the speed of light. It generally involves, if I understand correctly, theoretically going around the rule. When you can't break the rule, you go around it. When you can't do that such as with transporters, you compensate, by making a compensator named after that annoying prick who said you can't do that, like Heisenberg.

The real reason for "warp 9.8" in TNG etc was that in the Star trek cartoon they had a linier scale and speeds of "Warp 15" were common. And Gene Roddenberry hated the hell out of it. So he invented a really complicated scale that would always have warp always referred to in a single digit, even though the Enterprise D was supposed to be faster than the Original Enterprise.
Basically warp 10 in that scale was occupying every part in the universe Simultaneously - infinite speed.
Really though I think the effect was to actually hinder give people a sense of the real speeds involved. People don't generally think exponentially.

Yup; warp ("factor") 10 was invented as an arbitrary hard limit. But due to plot magic, OG Enterprise once went warp 14.1.Suranis wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 3:12 pm The real reason for "warp 9.8" in TNG etc was that in the Star trek cartoon they had a linier scale and speeds of "Warp 15" were common.

And, due to inflation, in the contemporary series, transwarp can go faster than warp 10.

Honest to God, @BretBaier is now asking @CDCDirector “how come people in Austria can’t come to visit their grandchildren while illegal immigrants are pouring in over the border” and saying that the high Covid rates in the south are because of illegal immigrants. Right on brand.

Fox News has Bush's press secretary AND Trump's press secretary AND Trump's daughter-in-law on the payroll to explain that what is happening in Afghanistan is 100% Biden's fault.

Ask faux-news how many troops the former impotus left in Afghanistan for Biden to handle the situation! I seem to remember something like 2000 remaining as of November 2020.
