In Star Trek Films How Fast Is Warp 1?

The warp drive is a form of faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion. It is generally portrayed as being capable of propelling spacecraft or other objects to many multiples of the speed of light, while avoiding the problems associated with time dilation.\n\nEnterprise, set in 2151 onwards, shows the voyages of the first Earth ship to be capable at going at warp factor 5 (taken as one hundred twenty-five times the speed of light).\n\nAccording to The Star Trek Encyclopedia, warp 6 (new scale) is equal to about warp 7.3 on the old scale. In the Voyager episode Threshold, the characters said attaining the velocity of warp 10 was impossible.\n\nAchieving warp factor 1 is equivalent to breaking the light barrier, while at higher factors the average speed increases according to a specific warp formula.

lightspeed is about 186,000 miles per second and the sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.  Divide and you get 500 seconds, which is 8 minutes 20 seconds.

You've confused the statement of the theory. Let two observers be in the same inertial reference frame with two synchronized watches. One observer accelerates in a negligibly small amount of time to some fraction of the speed of light relative to the other observer. The latter observer will be called O1 and the moving observer O2. \nO2 will measure the time in 01's reference frame to be going *slower* than the time in his frame. Likewise, O1 will measure the passage of time in 02's frame to be going *slower* than in 01's frame (the half-life of particles "increases" depending on their speeds). In other words, given two events A and B that always occur t seconds apart in O, they will occur at some separation T > t when measured from O'. The same will occur if O' is switched with O in the sentence above.\nQuestions like this usually come from confusing the relativity of simultaneity. Remember that in relativity, there are no two events that are simultaneous with respect to all inertial frames. \nI recommend you check out the text "Spacetime Physics" by Wheeler et al.

The Earth moves around the Sun at 66,880 mph. Our Solar System moves around the Milky Way galaxy at 492,000 mph. The Milky Way galaxy moves within our Local Group of galaxies at 671,000 mph. Our Local Group of galaxies is moving at 1,340,000 mph against the background of the Universe. Scootin' right along, aren't we?

Communicators?  We already have walkie-talkies.\n\nPhasers?  Don't know what exactly those are.\n\nSpeech recognition?  Already have some rudimentary stuff.  Don't know how well they work though.\n\nTransporter?  I wish.  No one would ever have to waste time commuting to work.\n\nWarp drive and faster than light travel?  Theoretically possible, but perhaps a practical impossibility.  With a huge energy source (gravity of a black hole?) you could distort space-time such that relativity no longer applies (the warp drive "warps" space-time).  Could a matter-antimatter reactor do it?  I don't know.\n\nArtificial gravity?  Don't know.  Doubt it, other than little centrifugal force tricks (rotating space station).  Manipulating gravity for the warp drive would be hard enough.  Trying to somehow localize its influence to floor plating on a space ship is probably asking too much.\n\nInertial dampeners?  Nothing really fancy about this in theory.  Just need little thrusters that respond super-quickly to undesired accelerations.  There might be other tricks you could try if you've already got that warp drive.\n\nMeeting women from different planets?  I'm not convinced I haven't already.

In the Star Trek: Chronology, it is explained that in a stardate of 41153.7 the "4" represented the 24th century. The "1" represents the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the next three numbers progress upwards during the season. The number after the decimal place represents 1/10 of a 24 hour period.\n\nIn my interpretation of the Stardate system, the first two numbers represent a year between 2300 and 2399.  The next three numbers, which progress from 000 to 999 are broken down into various sections, based on three calculations. First, I divide the 1,000 units by 365 to get a number of about 2.7. Then I divide the 1,000 by 52 to get a number of about 19.2. Finally I divide the 1,000 by 12 to get a number of about 83.3.  Based on these calculations, I decided that within one week, the days would increase by 2 units. Within a month the weeks would increase by 19 units. And within one year, the months would increase by 83 units.  I then decided to start at 001 in my stardate year. The number after the decimal still represents 1/10 of a 24 hour Earth day.\n\nSo lets take the example I used at the beginning of this explanation. In the present Star Trek Universe, a stardate of 41153.7 represented a date early in 2364. In my interpretation, stardate 41153.7 falls on February 28, 2341.\n\nNOTE: This system is based on Earth's calendar year, it can be recalculated to represent other planets within the Federation. Therefore a stardate ending in 153.7 on Vulcan could be days or even weeks apart from a stardate ending in 153.7 on Earth

it took the voyager 42 hours. but that was a slow plane. in a faster plane it would take less time. take the sr71 black bird plane used by the cia max speed is around 4000 miles per hour, that would take six mid air refuelings or more, and probably around ten hours to completely go around the world

Speed is relative, Earth itself is actualy traveling quite fast away from the center of the universe, but relative to Earth, beyond any doubt, LPA's (Linear Particle Accelerators) (not realy "made", more like harnessed to make other particles move very fast), You could possibly also argue a Hydrogen Fusion Bomb, (or maybe it's a Uranium Fission bomb?, I can't remember)... anyways, the nuclear reaction created "travels" very quickly for the first few fractions of a second. As for things that carry people, the space shuttle, and as for Land speed, I do belive the Thrust SSC (The brittish) was about 750-760mph (thats cookin' on land alright) and was set in the late nineties... the first time somone had ever exceeded supersonic speeds on land, however... there are rocket sleds (looks like a cart on rails) used by the US military for testing that can far exceed supersonic speeds, but are unmanned.\n\nJust read Kes's answer... very trippy, but very true.

It would take 4.3 years to get to the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) if you were traveling at the speed of light. However, it would take nearly 118,000 years to get there if you were traveling at the speed of a space shuttle (approximately 25,000 mph).

In the relativistic limit (i.e. speeds near the speed of light [here denoted "c"]) velocities are not additive in the normal sense.  In particular one must use the relativistic velocity addition rule given by:\n\nv_1 + v_2 / { 1 + (v_1 * v_2 / c^2 ) }\n\nWhere v_1 and v_2 are the speeds of the moving observers.  Notice that when v_1 and v_2 are both siginificantly less than c this reduces to \n\nv_1 + v2, which is what you expect from the everyday world.\n\nIf you plug in .95 c for v_1 and v_2 you obtain that the apparent velocity of the observers to each other is given by:\n\n.998685939553 c or 99.865% of the speed of light.\n\nWhich is how fast they will appear to approach each other from each other's perspective.

The answer is very simple: the same amount of fuel is required no matter which reference frame you're in. Because it only takes you 5 minutes to travel from point A to point B, your fuel consumption rate will be significantly higher in your reference frame (remember consumption rate = amount of fuel burned/time) than someone measuring the rate in a stationary reference frame. The key points to remember is that total amount of matter and energy is the same no matter what reference frame you're in, but the passage of time is relative, and is dependent on your speed of motion.\n\nSo before you start your trip back to Earth, you must carry enough fuel to burn for 5 minutes, but you'll need to account for the relativistic effect, so you'll find that it is the same amount of fuel you'll need to burn for 100 years, according to someone in the stationary reference frame.\n\nI hope this helps to clarify these concepts for you!

Higgs particles have never been directly observed, because no accelerators powerful enough yet exist. But there is hope the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be sufficiently energetic.\n\nThere are no plans for spacecraft exceeding light speed, because according to modern physics it's impossible. That's not to imply that no "warp drive" has been conceived; in fact there is a department at NASA, the Future Propulsion Group, that is working on just that (and a few other ideas). But it is not a faster-than-light drive, it's an energetic field that bends space and moves a spacecraft. The problem is, you need a powerplant the size of the Sun to drive any reasonable-sized craft -- so it's not exactly viable.

Yes....it is....but it only occurs in rare circumstances.......ask friends to help you move and you'll see warp drive.
