Talk:Warp factor

For warp>9, there are many possible variations of a mathematical continuous domain formula that could be approximated. Below is such example of a formula that has the "10/3" exponent growing exponentially with a "w/(10-w)" function, which evidently reach infinity at warp 10. The growth of the exponent is slowed considerably by a Nth root until the warp factor 'wf' approaches 10.


 * speed/c = wf^( (10/3)^( (wf/(10-wf))^(1/N) ) )


 * $$speed = wf^{({(\frac{10}{3})}^{({(\frac{wf})}^{(\frac{1}{N})})})} c$$

For Voyager to do approximately 4 billion miles/s (in ) at warp 9.9, we would set N=23. If we were to set N=30.35, the 4 billion miles/s would be at warp 9.975.
