Mr. Spock says the speed of light is defined as 299792458 metres per second (approximately 300000 km/s, or 186000 mi/s)
The speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second (1,235 km/h; 1,125 ft/s; 767 mph) or Mach 1 I think.
If Warp One is the speed of light then Warp 1 is 904460 mach or 693,720,820 miles per hour.
speed of light in vacuum =
904460.441682254 Mach at sea level & 32 dF
(velocity)
So the Enterprise wide open at Warp Nine is going 6,243,487,380 miles per hour.
So Kirk can top out the ship at just over 6 billion miles per hour. Just curious.
Trump could go faster without all the dead weight dragging him down.
