[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Erm, unless Okuda and Sternbach are, in fact, geniuses of the highest order, I sincerely doubt that the tech given for FTL flight in the tech-manual is anywhere approaching realistic. Warp drive does through most of the laws of physics out the window anyway. BUT...I wasn't saying that their theories were "wrong" even in a Trek-universe sort of way. I was saying that pointing out that a ship going FTL is "tecnically" going slower than light in it's own bubble when it hasn't got anything to do with the conversation is at best anal, and at worst, a huge waste of time. Are we suppossed to put in qualifiers everytime we talk about warp speed? Paris: "There's a Borg ship approaching. It's travelling slower than the speed of light, and it's 3 light years away." Janeway: "Oh good. That gives us plenty of time to get away". *Ship gets shot. Chakotay dies. Janeway is pissed. Everyone else cheers* Janeway: "What happened?" Paris: "Oh, it was going at warp 9.99999999billion. But it was "tecnically" travelling slower than the speed of light. So I'm right. BTW, we're about to die." Janeway: "Duh". [/QB][/QUOTE]
