A race to Alpha Centauri will take this Enterprise about three days. A trip to the Galatic Center is a little better than her predecessor but Kirk will still take several decades to get to the finish line, taking about 53 years to get there. Again, the crew of the Orville will be waiting for some time before the Enterprise reaches the finish line and they will probably be laughing while they are at it.
This is where things get interesting. For Star Trek: The Next Generation and subsequent series, Michael Okuda modified the previous formula to incorporate a few important differences. This has come to be known as the Okuda scale as this section of the graph was hand drawn. This means there is no known formula for the interval between 9 and 10 but fortunately Wolfram Alpha can extrapolate a value from the curve printed in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual.
Plugging those specs into Wolfram Alpha yields speeds of 1, c and 1, c respectively. Though more advanced than the previous ships to carry the name Enterprise, this ship is still much slower than the Orville. Running the engines at warp 9. If anything, the Enterprise-D fares better than previous ships in a race to the Galactic Center but this is still nothing to boast about. A trip to the center of the Milky Way takes a little over 16 years.
The crew of the Enterprise will make it in their lifetimes but any children born on the Orville will already be in high school and probably be laughing at the relic they learned in their history classes as it crosses the finish line. It is, after all, a more advanced ship that can travel at warp 9. As this section of the graph increases asymptotically, it is several times faster than Enterprise-D, clocking in at 14, c.
It seems that despite being a more advanced ship, the Federation can't build something that will beat the Orville. A race to Alpha Centauri isn't as big a loss compared to previous Enterprises—the Enterprise-E arrives in a little over two-and-a-half hours. They still lose the race but it's not bad compared to the other ships. Things are also better in a race to the Galactic Center.
Obviously Picard and his crew lose to the Orville but they get there in a little over 1 year and 10 months. Maybe the Orville can have a little fun while they are at it. Active Oldest Votes. Warp 9. In terms of actual speed, the answer is somewhere in the region of a million million times the speed of light From the episode transcript: Captain's log, stardate Improve this answer. Community Bot 1. I'm pretty sure 'Threshold' is one of those episodes that the writers ignore for terms of continuity.
It's almost universally described as the worst episode of Star Trek from any series. Jeff I quite liked that episode — Darren.
Jeff The Threshold reference didn't really add anything to the answer, so I've removed it. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown. Featured on Meta.
Now live: A fully responsive profile. Upcoming Events. After receiving widespread attention for those animations, he began wondering what going faster might look like in reality. The animated video above, which O'Donoghue posted on Twitter on Monday, is almost as deflating as the scientist's first set of popular animations. There's no set-in-stone scale of "warp-factor" speeds in the "Star Trek" universe.
Over the more than 50 years of productions, different series and episodes and movies throw out conflicting numbers. However, Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda — two technical advisers to "The Next Generation" series — published a technical manual in that includes some solid figures, and it's those numbers vis-a-vis a Wikipedia page that O'Donoghue said he leaned on for his animation.
That scale suggests a warp factor of 1 is light speed shown below between Earth and the moon and the typical upper limit warp of 9. O'Donoghue chose to depict the Enterprise flying away from the sun and across the solar system toward a finish line at Pluto.
The spaceship starts out at warp 1 and eventually accelerates to warp 9. This last rate of travel is thousands of times faster than the physics of our universe may ever permit. However, traveling at a warp factor of 9. That's almost a decade longer than an average human life span today. Even considering the fastest "transwarp" or "beyond warp" speed achieved by the Enterprise, which is about 8, times light speed, according to " Star Trek: The Next Generation — Technical Manual ," a transgalactic voyage would take 24 years.
A transwarp voyage to Andromeda, which is the nearest galaxy to ours at about 2. A quarter of a century is a grueling amount of time that no holodeck , artificially intelligent companions, and extremely well-stocked spaceship bar may stack up against, let alone three centuries.
The fastest any human-built object has ever gone relative to the sun is about miles per second kilometers per second , or , mph , kilometers per hour. NASA's Parker Solar Probe briefly achieves this speed when it careens around the sun, and flying to Pluto from the sun at that rate would take nearly a year.
