It was in the TOS Writer’s Guide as far back as April 17, 1967, where it was stated (page 8):

Hyper-light speeds or space warp speeds (the latter is the terminology we prefer) are measured in WARP FACTORS. Warp factor one is the speed of light — 186,000 miles per second (or somewhat over six hundred million miles per hour.) Note: warp factors two, three and four are so on are based on a geometrical formula of light velocity. Warp factor two is actually eight times the speed of light; warp factor three is twenty-four times the speed of light; warp factor four is sixty-four times the speed of light, and so on.

It was subsequently mentioned in the behind-the-scenes book The Making of Star Trek in 1968 and Franz Joseph’s Star Fleet Technical Manual. The TOS scale was finally made canonical when it appeared in on a viewscreen in ENT: “First Flight”.

The TNG scale was established in the series’ Writer’s Guide in 1987 establishing Warp 10 as the absolute limit (and infinite speed), so the scale had to be adjusted accordingly.

I’ve done it through DDG on my phone. Still get weird thumbnail.

When I can get on desktop, I can try again but it really makes me wonder about CBR.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the decision to add these aliens to the story was a good one. It gives Khan someone to be tyrannical toward, since his cultist followers don’t really give him a reason to do monstrous things.

Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?

That’s a pain. I guess a delete and repost might do it, or on desktop you might be able to set a different thumbnail URL.

Even with the now corrected link, it still wants to show the image from the ad.

I stripped the tracking code from the end but the other image won’t clear.

Corrected it. I initially seemed to have picked up the ad instead of the actual interview.

Wrong link?

ok wow lol well now I know you’re sexist lmao

That’s correct as far as the TNG-era scale is concerned. In the TOS/SNW era it was a simple speed = warp factor^3 equation, meaning Warp 6.25 is about 244c.

I don’t care what Internet people think of me. I wrote nothing untoward and have been respectful in this conversation. No where have I said I don’t like her, I only said she’s a bad character fitting the Mary Sue archetype in my opinion and I have reasonable hope that SFA will be better than Disco. I can live with what I wrote. If you draw the conclusion that I am sexist, then that’s your opinion.

If you do not want to see my opinions, feel free to block me and forget I exist. This is not worth your time or mine.

If you single out a female character who’s not a Mary Sue as a Mary Sue for no reason other than because you personally don’t the character, people will think you’re sexist. Especially when you don’t apply that definition to the white and male characters who more closely fit the established definition.

Hi! I saw the first episode of Discovery, I dislike it, why a commander betray the captain in the first episode? Is like they always want to show Federation Starfleet inefficient as a rule instead of a exception?

Thanks for the comments.

Well said. Prodigy was not for me. But I’m not making it my personality!

In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager’s max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D’s 9.6.

Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using…
