    Stargate FLT Drive vs StarTrek FTL Drive

    I have a tech question, which is faster, a HyperDrive or a WarpDrive?

    hyperdrive definitely. prommie went over 1000 ly in "Prometheus", it'd take months to do that with warp drive. warp 9 is 1516 times the speed of light. thats over half a year to get 1000 ly

      I guess you're talking about Star Trek's Warp Drive.

      Hyperdrive takes the ship out of normal space to travel, so although it would get you to your destination sooner, it's difficult to tell if it is really faster, since speed is distance/time, it actually contracts the distance necessary to travel between two points. (you could say a wormhole is the fastest, but the "speed" is walking speed...)

      Warp drive is in normal space, even though the ships on StarTrek are enveloped in a "warp bubble" which allows them to "slide" through space faster than newtonian physics would say is possible.

      Star Trek even had references to a slipstream drive in STV, which took the ship out of normal space, and naturally, they have wormholes, etc.

      The answer you're probably looking for is: Hyperdrive

        If you count the horrible Voyager episode "Threshold" Warp, otherwise Hyperdrive.

          Yeah it was really weird when they started to turn into those pre-historic water mammals. WORST EPISODE EVER!!!

              Hyper.

              Speed is calculated by distance and how long it took for you to get there meaning time.
              It doesn't matter how you get there. It's distances traveled and how long it took to get there.

                Hyperdrive. Asgard hyperdrives can hop between galaxies in minutes. It was supposed to take Voyager, what? 75 years to get a mere 70,000 lightyears? (3/4 of the width of our galaxy)

                  I would think that Stargate ships go faster.

                    Hyperdrives go WAY faster then warpdrives.
                    I found MGs site...this is what happend....I laughed

                        Hyperdrives are definitely faster as they go into subspace. Warp drive on the other hand creates a subspace bubble around the ship and essentially makes the ship go partially into subspace.

                          So basically it is traveling fast but not in the hole bending the needle type of fast.

                          I am trying to understand.

                          It's not like bending the needle because that would be like being their like when you step through the stargate.
                          Isn't going into subspace the same thing as traveling in subspace? Please explain.

                            Hyperdrive! Definately! I mean even the name sounds like it goes faster than WarpDrive

                              i think it is the hyper in it. BTW time diulation would be greater in hyper drive, meaning that you would live milenia longer than someone not in hyperdrive if you were to live at hyperdrive speed ur whole life
