How come the Enterprise didnt break the time barrier in WNOHGB

That's a very strong response. The bold part of my post below addresses your dislike of that show. ... [Alternative Star Trek Warp Speed Scale and Related Equations](https://www.occasionalenthusiast.com/alternative-star-trek-warp-speed-scale-and-related-equations/) I agree with the first part of this article, and have mixed opinions on the rest. Concrete examples from the Trek shows were missing in this otherwise highly analytical proposal. The warp scale of warp factors should be changed again, not just because VOY's "Threshold" was horrible. **Examples** If Trek warp factors were to become logarithmic, if Starfleet were to move away from TNG warp factors and recalibrate the warp scale to increase 10 times for each additional warp factor, then it could be argued from this perspective that Warp 12 and Warp 13 were seen. Maximum warp in the PIC era is well below logarithmic Warp 5, which is 10000c. VOY's "Endgame" travel via fixed "transwarp" conduit had a minimum of over 250 million times the speed of light. This is between 100000000c and 1000000000c. This is between a logarithmic Warp 9 and a logarithmic Warp 10. The fixed "transwarp" conduit also had a maximum of over 1.4 billion times the speed of light. This is between 1000000000c and 10000000000c. This is between a logarithmic Warp 10 and a logarithmic Warp 11. Once, the Enterprise-D traveled between a logarithmic Warp 11 and a logarithmic Warp 12: 30000 light years in 59 seconds: 16046237288c The Cytherian propulsion technology is advanced, but it isn't the top of the list. It is also missing from an ["insane warp speeds" video on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMSf9wAU-wY&t=1s) Once, the Enterprise-D traveled between a logarithmic Warp 13 and a logarithmic Warp 14. 2.7 million light years in 43 seconds: 1981523720930c (Much more conservative estimate than the video) Once, the Enterprise-D traveled between a logarithmic Warp 16 and a logarithmic Warp 17. 1 billion light years in 16 seconds: 1972350000000000c **Intergalactic Travel Occasions** At one point, the greatest distance between us and another galaxy in the universe was 32 billion light years away, not a mere 1 billion light years. Galaxy GN-Z11 was discovered in 2015. Galaxy JADES-GS-z13-0 was discovered in 2022 and is 33 billion light years away. Travel this distance in one second: 1041400800000000100c If the warp scale were to be changed again to be logarithmic, this would be between logarithmic Warp 19 and logarithmic Warp 20. The Universal Maximum Warp Speed could be redefined as logarithmic Warp 20. With these changes, more Trek stories can have intergalactic travel occasions by accident. **For example, perhaps a future Trek two-part episode could combine TNG's "Where No One Has Gone Before" and TNG's "Genesis" to salvage VOY's "Threshold."** The starship should travel 30 billion light years courtesy of another Traveller, because that is now the current greatest distance from us. Travel 30 billion light years. Travel in way less than 20 minutes to be above Log Warp 17. **The crew would devolve more slowly into primates instead of amphibians.** Their ship must return to our galaxy to "cure" the disease, because it might be an anti-time one, too. That return should be made possible by this new Traveller, who is fading away like the one in TNG.
