Eugene's Limit | Originally, Eugene's Limit stated that warp stress to increased asymptotically, approaching but never reaching a value corresponding to Warp Factor 10. Under this theory, as field values approach ten, power requirements rise geometrically, while the aforementioned driver coil efficiency drops dramatically. The required force coupling and decoupling of the warp field layers rise to unattainable frequencies, exceeding not only the flight system's control capabilities, but more important the limit imposed by the Planck time. Even if it were possible to expend the theoretically infinite amount of energy required, an object at Warp 10 would be traveling infinitely fast, occupying all points in the universe simultaneously.(Transwarp). | ||
While Eugene's Limit still holds true, due to the efforts of Dr. [[Roshanara Rahman]] and [[Oddas Aria]], Starfleet was able to discover a way to increase speed to Warp Factor 15 by using deeper layers of subspace to decrease the cochrane ratio in main space. | |||
