Which Sci-Fi Show's "Light speed" is the FASTEST?

Hey co-stars in this video we are going to ask the question: Which Sci-fi show's "light speed" is the fastest? We are comparing Hyperdrive from Star Wars, Warp Drive from Star Trek, FLT Jump Drive from Battlestar Galactica, Asgard Hyperdrive from Stargate, quantum drive from the Orville and a couple of other surprises. The answer to the question may suprise you since many of these science fiction shows didn't give us specific stats about speed, but do give away information on screen.

@@kabob0077 Just like with the TARDIS. Bonus points for it being a nightmare beast of sentient hypergeometry mapped on a skeleton of hyperdimensional math. The rooms inside are just a comparatively tiny space hollowed out within. I'm still not sure if the Gallifreyans just found a lifeform like this and then started breeding them like horses or if they created the entire thing from scratch, but in the expanded lore we see that when viewed by beings that can perceive higher dimensions it's much less box-like and has an unspecified number of tentacles and other squelchy bits.

In stargate, the Earth ships equipped with Asgard hyperdrives where very fast, but the Asgard ships where quite a bit faster. However, the fastest thing in stargate, aside from the stargates themselves, was the Atlantis City ship. It had an experimental wormhole drive that can transport the city between galaxies instantaneously. That would put it almost to the level of the Heart of Gold as far as speed and distance.

[@Drago_Whooves]

Depending if you allow for wormholes Stargate's Supergate beats all (also would taking a Puddle Jumper to Destiny count in that respect as well?)

[@tungstentaco495]

@@Drago_Whooves I would imagine the criteria here would be that the propulsion system has to be completely built into the ship. Using something external, like a gate, that doesn't travel with you wouldn't qualify. Wormhole works for Atlantis because the city ship itself is creating it each time. That's my interpretation anyway.

It is. The Red Line is the point at which it becomes to dangerous to plot. Theoretically the FTL drives have unlimited range. The issue is the human error after a certain limit or the computing power available to calculate the jump. That's why every few hour they updated the fleet coordinates because they could be so far off from the original location that blank space that was originally their is now a star. This was actually a plot point in one of the episodes in Season 2 I think. Where the new coordinates didn't send out and Galactica got separated from the fleet they had to jump back calculate a jump point with a networked computer and jump to that point.

[@davidvarnes7708]

A show that's often overlooked: Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. The Andromeda Ascendant would use slipstream engines to allow it to go between the three galaxies involved (Milky Way, Andromeda, Triangulum galaxy) in hours to days. Speed estimates would have to be off, since many locations other than Earth are purely fictional, but were echelons above Star Wars's hyperdrive, covering 2.5 to 3 million light years in a period of 24 to 48 hours at most (possibly 100,000 light years per hour). Like hyperdrive though, navigation through slipstream often involved jumps and circuitous paths due to the nature of slipstream, and was dependent on access to the slipstream network, much like the Borg with their transwarp network and conduits. Ironically, that meant that going from one galaxy to another could be faster than going from one nearby star to another, if the systems didn't both have slipstream conduit points.

"It's kind of a joke movie." Yes, but it actually has some rather horrifying aspects to the IID because of what that method of travel actually correlates to. Remember that old debate on whether the transporters from Star Trek actually kills you and replicates you at the target location? This drive basically works by creating a field, it should technically be created both at the start and destination, possibly across the entire universe, that makes unlikely events less unlikely. This then ties into the fact that at any point in time and space, random matter could coalesce into an object, and that object could technically be a spaceship filled with passengers, and those passengers could technically be created with a set of memories that perfectly matches what another group of passengers on another ship halfway across the universe had when their matter suddenly decided that it wanted to be something else. Equally long odds would be that the matter from point A would instead be instantly transposed to point B. So every time you use this thing there's a non-zero percent chance that you kill or turn yourself into something completely random and that a clone of you pops out the other side, believing itself to be you, a non-zero percent chance in a device that literally works by magnifying the most unlikely outcomes to actually happen.

It still took time "in jump" and the crew suffered form some kind of bad hangover when they exited, depending on how long the jump was. For travel to another galaxy an extra suitable and unstable jump point called a "slingshot point" had to be found. Also smaller ships in mass needed stronger jump points and thus often have to travel months at conventional drive to get to them. I thought that was a pretty cool system they came up with.

You forgot to mention Futurama, while animated it's still of note because they have a neat (and funny) solution to FTL. Instead of moving the ship through the universe, they move the universe. -"The ship can travel between galaxies in mere hours" "You can't go faster than the speed of light!" -"They increased the speed of light in 2208" It has been suggested that the ship can travel across the whole universe in mere days. I personally like Battlestar Galactica's approach the most. Where you create wormholes (bend spacetime) and there's a limit to how far you can go in a single jump. And of course also that doing these jumps puts a tremendous stress on the ship. But there's something to be said about hyperspace, in that you actually have to navigate the universe and find a line that doesn't take you straight through an obstacle. And that this can be made into a suicide weapon, as seen in The Last Jedi, where a cruiser is going straight through the imperial forces, breaking their ships into pieces.

[@Ishlacorrin]

Babylon 5 is weeks to months to cross the galaxy, depending greatly by ship. The White Stars were fast enough to cross the galaxy in around 7 weeks, but other ships were a lot slower, Earthforce ships would probably take almost years. Another limiting factor is that without a jump beacon to follow, staying shallow enough in hyperspace to not get lost would be difficult for many races. Then there is the nature of hyperspace itself, it's less like a constant 'space' and more like a storm of differing speeds of space and time. JMS himself said that certain trips were faster despite being twice the distance in real space of others.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda potentially has them all beat while also not measuring up to any of them. Slipstream connects different locations without regard to their distance, more in regard to their gravitation. So some great distances can be travelled easily enough, while some smaller distances might be completely cut off from the slipstream. It's non linear and doesn't conform to speed, but a very compelling way of traveling.

[@Crystan]

There was one tiny one you missed - Transwarp. In the Star Trek Voyager episode "Threshold" the shuttle is able to travel at maximum transwarp, effectively being everywhere at once and then just dropping out where they needed to be. Literally infinite speed. This did of course have the drawback of causing the passengers to evolve (devolve) into unusual lifeforms. Can't have everything though.
