[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I always thought of it as 1.5 light speed permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Which isn't a practical speed for interstellar travel. It's literally just over warp 1. More practical would be to assume that there's a k missing 1.5k (thousand) light speed is warp 9.975. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago The cope for awhile was that it was 1.5x lightspeed while in hyperspace, which also distorted distances, so you got much, much faster travel speeds without messing with relativity. Then they decided it was a multiplier applied to how long it took to travel a certain route, so lower was better. permalink fedilink source parent
