Hi.
I'm working on a warp speed formula in MS Excel and I'm using a formula from Wikipedia:

s(w) = w^10/3 × c

So all I do is make it so whatever is typed in a box is brought up to the power of 10/3. Then that is what is the speed multiplied by c.

So my question is if the USS Voyager is about 75,000 light years from home and is traveling at maximum warp (warp 9.975) to get home then:

warp 9.975 = 2136.53c
c takes 75,000 years to reach destination.
75,000 ÷ 2136.53 = 35.10

They say on Voyager that it would take them 75 years to reach home, but this says it would only take more than half that. Is there something wrong with my calculations?

Since the topics are so close, I'm going to merge this with the Warp Speed Calculator thread you started earlier.
