However, this statement contradicts the technical manuals and encyclopedias written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, where a speed of 3053 times the speed of light was established for a warp factor of 9.9 and a speed of 7912 times the speed of light for a warp factor of 9.99. Both numerical values are well below the value given by Tom Paris ...
It follows that warp 4, the stated maximum speed of the shuttle, is about 100 times the speed of light. In the movie Star Trek Beyond it is stated that the USS Franklin (NX-326) was the first Earth ship who was capable of warp 4. Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg): "This is the USS Franklin, sir, can you believe it? First Earth ship capable of warp 4."
The Star Trek television series and films use the term "warp drive" to describe their method of faster-than-light travel. Neither the Alcubierre theory, nor anything similar, existed when the series was conceived—the term "warp drive" and general concept originated with John W. Campbell's 1931 science fiction novel Islands of Space. [47]
A revolutionary study introduces a warp drive model compatible with known physics, offering a scientifically grounded approach to faster-than-light travel.
Certain kinds of hypothetical spacetimes called warp drives, which in a sense can be said to admit a kind of faster-than-light inertia-less and time-dilation-less travel, have been studied by some theoretical physicists since about 1990. This category contains articles related to such theoretical speculations.
There is no known way to create the space-distorting wave this concept needs to work, but the metrics of the equations comply with relativity and the limit of light speed. [ 9 ] A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel through space-time that would allow instantaneous intergalactic travel to the most distant galaxies even billions of light years away.
Rocket on cover of Other Worlds sci-fi magazine, September 1951. Space travel, [1]: 69 [2]: 209–210 [3]: 511–512 or space flight [2]: 200–201 [4] (less often, starfaring or star voyaging [2]: 217, 220 ) is a science fiction theme that has captivated the public and is almost archetypal for science fiction.

[10] [5]: 238–239 [9]: 75 [11] [1]: 404 [13] [14]: 156 Some works use multiple synonyms; for example, in the Star Trek franchise, the term hyperspace itself is only used briefly in a single 1988 episode ("Coming of Age") of Star Trek: The Next Generation, [15]: 353 while a related set of terms – such as subspace, transwarp, and proto-warp ...
