[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Huzzah! This formula is 100% correct for every single canonical speed per given warp factor above WF9. It's perfect! Except... I then took a few minutes to plot the equation into OS X's graphing calculator app, and I discovered a rather unfortunate problem: [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/444/warp-speed-whoops.jpg[/IMG] (The lower graph is the TOS scale.) I think what I'll try to do now is to blend the various equations somehow, and use TSN's formula for the higher end area where the speeds approach infinity, but try to find something that fluctuates a bit less wildly on the lower side of things. Cartman: I realized after I asked that question how stupid it actually was, because the log-base-10 of 10 is... 1! (I never thought I'd actually have even a somewhat-reasonable use for my higher algebra, trig, and calculus classes! ;) ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
