I wrote this small JavaScript about two and
a half years ago because no one had made a consolidated effort to combine
the two formulae that had been in use for TNG warp speeds under 9.9 and
over 9.9. After some work I found a formula that incorporated both
formulae, with the exception of one warp speed. At warp 9.992, the
TNG technical manual gives a warp speed that is not consistent with the
formula. Since it is the only case where it is not consistent I
decided that it had to be false. This JavaScript provides accurate
translations of warp speeds to multiples of "c" (the speed of
light), with an error rating of less than +/- 1%.
The Distance Traveled field is always in
terms of Light Years. The Years, Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds
fields represent the amount of time it takes to travel the desired
Distance. Subspace Speed is considered warp 9.9997.
