Beside the
possibility to calculate the distance by using the warp factor and time
given in an episode, it is important as well to calculate the time for
several warp factor, provided that the distance is already known, for instance
in order to consider if also a freighter would have been able to travel
a certain distance in an acceptable time, how long it would last to cross
a sector, how long it takes to travel to a real star etc.
Please simply
enter the given distance and warp factor in the below Javascript form and
click on "Calculate" (or just hit the [tab] key to determine the needed
time. For calculating, the program uses the physical standard formulas
and the rather exact formula
warp^(10/3)+(10-warp)^(-11/3)
However, there
are great discrepancies above warp 9.6, therefore inputs above that speed
are invalid.
