[QUOTE]Originally posted by Joshua Bell: [QB] Actually, the Okuda scale is so slippery in the 9.6+ region that a call of 2.5 years doesn't mean they were explicitly ignoring it, just that they weren't using terribly great precision reading off the graph. According to the most accurate formula we have: 9.6 = 3.5 years 9.8 = 2.9 years 9.9 = 2.3 years My interpretation: either Data meant 3.5 years (and the historical records are glitched) or he meant "if we burnt out the engines and fried the crew with radiation, the hull of the ship would coast into the Federation in about 2.5 years" Is there any ambiguity in the distance, such as 7000 LY from their previous location but 2.5 years from the Federation? That could change the distance by a few thousand LY easily. [/QB][/QUOTE]
