[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Okay, so I know this is a very debatable topic that has been effectively run into the ground over the last five or ten years... but I'm working on a bit of a project, and I'd really like to be able to provide some useful results. I've tried doing a general search (both here and via Google), but I haven't found very much at all that provides a truly accurate formula for the calculation of starship velocities beyond Warp 9 on the TNG scale. The closest I've found is [URL=http://www.calormen.com/Star_Trek/warpcalc/]this JavaScript-based calculator[/URL], but though the equations look like they're exactly what I need, they break down at around Warp 9.8 or so -- they're not increasing towards infinity. I also tried implementing [URL=http://www.ditl.org/datscitech.php?17]Graham Kennedy's formula[/URL], but even though it's a lot more complex, it didn't seem to do the job either. So, I know we've got several people here who have strong degrees in math. Does [i]anyone[/i] know of a way that I could get a reasonably decent formula? Even if I have to break it up into sub-formulae for various parts of the continuum between WF9 and WF10. But I don't recall nearly enough of my math classes to figure out what I need. The only requirement that I have is that I need the final equation to be implementable via JavaScript. Anyone who can give me significant help in finding a useful solution gets a mention on my upcoming Warp Speed Calculator [URL=http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/]Dashboard widget[/URL]. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
