star trek - Unified Warp Scale

Per Aramis' answer;



 OWF = Old Scale Warp Factor
NWF = New Scale Warp Factor
C = Speed in multiples of the speed of light
D/LY = Days per Light year

OWF: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
C: 1 8 27 64 125 216 343 512 729 1,000 1,331 1,728 2,197 2,744 3,375
D/LY: 365 45.6 13.5 5.7 2.9 1.7 1.1 0.7 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.1




TNG, DS9 and Voyager use about WF^(10/3) through warp 9.0...



 NWF:    1   2     3      4      5      6      7       8       9
C: 1 10.1 38.9 101.6 213.7 392.5 656.1 1024.0 1516.4
OWF: 1 2.2 3.4 4.7 6.0 7.3 8.7 10.1 11.5
D/LY: 365 36.2 9.4 3.6 1.7 0.9 0.6 0.4 0.2


Above 9.0, between 9.0 and 10, the exponent increases dramatically, and warp 10 is theoretically infinite speed.
