> > How does the warp metric go? Is Warp 8 just 8 times lightspeed, or more? > Interesting, my learnin' tells me that if you go the speed of light, time stops or distances along flight path become infinitly short so you get where you're going instantly! Of course this takes an infinite amount of energy... I thought warp was something like a tunneling effect, you somehow go "around" the lightspeed barrier and it turns out that going faster than light requires less energy than going lightspeed. (*sci fi*) Don't know what warp 8 means. Then there is the problem of probability distributions, as the number of early VW busses increases, the probability that one of them needs the valves adjusted approaches one exponentially :-). Babble babble... -Dyer
