The Lantean city-ship, for example, is at least 300,000,000,000 x the speed of light, and the Replicator Cruiser is about 17,500,000,000 x the speed of light.

The TARDIS should be first, because enjoy only can it travel anywhere in the universe instantly, it can also travel backward in time. So even if the infinite probability drive could get you somewhere instantly too, the TARDIS could have been at the destination before you even leave the starting point.
The infinite improbability drive also can time travel. For instance, the probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
The heat of gold, according to Douglas Adams (who by the way was at least partially responsible for Dr. Who's success) can travel anywhere, anywhen providing you know how improbable it is to get there. So it will always beat the Tardis, providing you know how improbable it would be to be there before the tardis.
@@scotthodgins7975 But working out the various different kinds of infinity would usually be impossible, due to the answer having an infinite number of digits, and thus being impossible to describe to the improbability drive. So only a finite subset of destinations are actually possible.
@VPWedding from what I remember, all you need to do is tell the computer where you want to go, and the Heart of Gold will tell space to "get knotted" and park itself exactly where you wanted to be... when you wanted to be there.

The 2004 Galactica could FTL to anywhere in the universe, but the set back was you had to know where you were landing and that’s something all the other Sci-fi’s neglected
Wrong. The warp scale changed between Star Trek TOS and TNG. You’re using the original TOS warp scale of warp factor cubed for all Trek ships. TNG and later used a different warp scale that goes asymptotic between warp 9 and 10, so Voyager’s warp 9.975 would be much faster than 992 c, and Prometheus’ warp 9.99 would be way more than 5 c faster than Voyager.
Coz even light speed or faster is slow compared to the scale of the Universe! Eg: if u want to travel to Alpha Centauri 4.24 light years away and ur ship can travel @2x light speed... It would still take u 2.12 years to reach ur destination! What r u gonna do for over 2 years awake??
how is the heart of gold faster than the Tardis? A Tardis travels via the time vortex. Space and time travel are not really distinguished here. The Tardis arrives exactly when the pilot is wanting it to arrive even if it is in the relative past. So while the Heart of gold may travel instantanous so does the tardis. Even more so because the tardis can arrive before the race even started. Something the Heart of gold is incapable of.
The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
I would put the TARDIS as #1 because it can actually reach its destination before it departed its origin. Therefore, it it traveling faster than infinity or factored by the range of imaginary numbers (the square root of a negative number). Discovery should be #2 because it was instantaneous. Heart of Gold took a fraction of a second, but still a positive number greater than zero. That it how I see it.
No there was a Warp 5 enterprise 10 years before enterprise 1701 you do not know Star Trek. whoever did this chart did not know what they were writing about.
They specified that the NCC-1701 was the *FEDERATION'S* first Enterprise. The Federation didn't exist yet when the NX-01 was in service, and it was a pre-Federation Earth Starfleet ship, not a Federation vessel. If you're going to count pre-Federation human ships named "Enterprise" as Federation ships named Enterprise, you may as well include the ones that sit on the water and are powered by wind in their sails. It *WAS* a spaceship named Enterprise which existed before the NCC-1701 but the first Federation ship of that name was the NCC-1701.
The Excession from the Iain M Banks novel of the same name, was apparently linked simultaneously above and below normal space, which even the Culture ships couldn't do. They thought this meant it was able to travel instantaneously between different universes. Which sounds like it should count as fast.
Actually, the book says: the infinite impropability engine allows the heart of gold to be everywhere at the same time... Only thing faster than that is bad news.
From the Ncc-1701D you mix-up warp scales. In TOS and films from that era thay used the formula : warp factor to the power of 3. In later series they use :warp factor to the power of 10/3 (or wf power 3.3333333) and also included the concept of infinite energy needed to achieve a higher speed. For Ncc-1701D, max speed would be 1815.85 x c For Voyager max speed would be 2136.53 x c For Prometheus max speed would be 2147.26 x c
@@matthewsvideos8235 Disagree; its highly unlikely the NX was decommissioned before the Federation Starfleet existed (since it was still in service in 2161), and we know Earth's Starfleet was the core of that organization. So the 1701 would be the first Federation BUILT ship named Enterprise, but not the first (Federation) Starfleet ship to bear that name.
@@Sephiroth144If you look at the timeline, and in the final episode of ENT, Archer says they are heading back to earth where the Enterprise will be decommissioned in 2161, at the same time that he made his speech forming the Federation. So both events happened in the same year. Hence why the NX in the fleet museum in Picard was not the NX-01, as why refit a ship that has been decommissioned.
Voyager was also equipped for a short time with a Quantum slip-stream drive, though I don't know if it's faster than a borg vessel in trans-warp. USS Dauntless (STV) was equipped with a similar, and more stable slip- stream drive as well. Also, forgot anything from Stargate, either the ZPM Equipped USS Odyssey, with its Asgard Hyperdrive, or the Tri-ZPM equipped Atlantis City ship, and it's wormhole drive.
The fastest spaceship of all time wasn't even mentioned. The "Planet Express Delivery Vehicle" piloted by Turanga Leela and her top notch crew of Bender and Philip J Fry proved over and over it's unlimited speed.
Conspicuously absent is an awareness of older science fiction. In E.E. "Doc" Smith's _Lensman_ series, published from 1948-1966, the spaceship Dauntless was said to have an easy cruising speed in galactic space of 80 parsecs per hour (~2,290,000 times the speed of light) and once in intergalactic space cruised at a sustained speed of 100,000 parsecs per hour (~2,860,000,000 times the speed of light). This would put it solidly in sixth place on this list, and possibly fifth depending on how much higher its top speed was than its cruising speed.
no mention of "Event Horizon" that used a singularity drive to fold Space time, although passing through dimensions of hell/evil arent normally calculated in MPH...
little note there. the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 was not the first ship named enterprise operated by starfrleet. that was the Enterprise NX 01 which was capable of warp 5.2 in the prequal to the Original series: Star Trek Enterprise. And there where faster ships in the star trek universe than the Borg cube. For example the USS Protostar.
actually the heart of gold travels to all points in the universe at the same time, it then randomly picks one of those points and stops depending on its current probability number.
My imaginary spaceship is so fast, it arrives anywhere before it leaves where it's at. It makes where I'm going into where I've been, confusing everybody. Like... this dude made an order for some self-sealing stem bolts... Asked me when they would be delivered... I said... "Last month, and you're late paying for them."
So not as fast as the TARDIS then? Or a Xeelee ship. Or any of several other time travelling spaceships which can arrive anywhere they want at any time of their choice including well before they left.
@@a-blivvy-yus I mean, the answer to faster travel isn't ever increasing speed, but to go up dimensionally to make space and time irrelevant. Sure, it ruins drag racing, but portal accidents could be of reasonable amusement.
Oeft out the ship from TAU. It's a book but the ship had a malfunction and kept accelerating to asymptomatic the speed of light. They witnessed heat death and birth of a new universe before repairing.
FTL travel generally goes to Lagrange points in "solar systems" Earth has 3 points you might be able to use, but it might be on the far side of where you wanna shoot so you have to move in with "in system drives" and so 20 minutes to get around a planet. Easy.

because food , air etc is to cost intensiv for the corporation/army...
Because the distances between planets/systems were also huge ..duh!😅
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. :)
It was going 16 galaxies over, ten years round trip (?) iirc ... I think it says it somewhere. Crap, now I don't remember where I heard that.
Voyager is actually the fastest, it went warp 10 one time, which put them simultaneously in every point in the universe at once.
You forgot Discovery and its spore drive. opps.....
Spore drive requires the Mycelial network. As stated in DIS. The network only spans the Milky Way Galaxy.
STD does not exist. Even fanfiction is more canon that that shit.
@@TechPorkChopuhh no, the mycelial network just gets thinner in the galactic barrier BUT it does exist far beyond the Milky Way, in the very end the mycelial network is another universe within ours. Even inside the wormhole where the Discovery-A went through, there was a mycelial network (disorganized, mixed and messed up but it was there, kind of what happened with TransWarp conduits by that century)
Opps indeed! 😂. Oops!
@tomascernak6112 take a freaking pill
The TARDIS popped in and out of the universe in minutes in several stories.
The 2004 Galactica could FTL to anywhere in the universe, but the set back was you had to know where you were landing and that’s something all the other Sci-fi’s neglected
Thats no ftl thats folding space
@@-Gothicgirl- if you knew the show, that’s what they call their Drive “FTL”. We know what it does.
Futurama space ship went to the edge of the universe and came back in a week. Beat that!
Wrong. The warp scale changed between Star Trek TOS and TNG. You’re using the original TOS warp scale of warp factor cubed for all Trek ships. TNG and later used a different warp scale that goes asymptotic between warp 9 and 10, so Voyager’s warp 9.975 would be much faster than 992 c, and Prometheus’ warp 9.99 would be way more than 5 c faster than Voyager.
Warp 9.8 - more then 2000 speed of light.
Slow af
How about Space Balls? Ludacris speed!!!!!
If the Sulaco is faster than light why do the crew need to be in hyper sleep for the journey??
Coz even light speed or faster is slow compared to the scale of the Universe!
Eg: if u want to travel to Alpha Centauri 4.24 light years away and ur ship can travel @2x light speed...
It would still take u 2.12 years to reach ur destination!
What r u gonna do for over 2 years awake??
If I remember the Enterprise D hit 9.8 or 9.9 at least
how is the heart of gold faster than the Tardis? A Tardis travels via the time vortex. Space and time travel are not really distinguished here. The Tardis arrives exactly when the pilot is wanting it to arrive even if it is in the relative past. So while the Heart of gold may travel instantanous so does the tardis. Even more so because the tardis can arrive before the race even started. Something the Heart of gold is incapable of.
The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
The Heart of Gold can clearly time travel, it took them to the Restaurant at the end of the Universe.
The Blue phone box wins whichever way you travel,
Forward's or backwards
I would put the TARDIS as #1 because it can actually reach its destination before it departed its origin. Therefore, it it traveling faster than infinity or factored by the range of imaginary numbers (the square root of a negative number). Discovery should be #2 because it was instantaneous. Heart of Gold took a fraction of a second, but still a positive number greater than zero. That it how I see it.
The tardis doesnt travel only the Portal moves
Totally missed the Spore Drive from Star Trek and the Blink Drive from Dark Matter.
I agree the Raza with its blink drive would make it probably #2 behind the Tardis but just before the Discovery
I was going to add Raza's blink drive, but you beat me!
@@EricSchoutens That was a great show, trying to figure out who those people were.
Space balls with ludicrous speed is definitely the fastest
No there was a Warp 5 enterprise 10 years before enterprise 1701 you do not know Star Trek. whoever did this chart did not know what they were writing about.
Agreed. Johnathan Archer's NX-01 Enterprise was the first warp-five Earth vessel. NX-01 was much earlier than Kirk's NCC-1701 Enterprise.
They specified that the NCC-1701 was the *FEDERATION'S* first Enterprise. The Federation didn't exist yet when the NX-01 was in service, and it was a pre-Federation Earth Starfleet ship, not a Federation vessel. If you're going to count pre-Federation human ships named "Enterprise" as Federation ships named Enterprise, you may as well include the ones that sit on the water and are powered by wind in their sails.
It *WAS* a spaceship named Enterprise which existed before the NCC-1701 but the first Federation ship of that name was the NCC-1701.
AI knows nothing, and doesn't care if it's wrong. That's why is going replace all customer support in the next few years.
@@tenchraven you say that, but on this particular point, the video was right (technically).
I was expecting some Stargate intergalactic vessels before getting to the TARDIS :)
The TARDIS is a time machine which can get to its destination a day or so before the other ships arrive.
This list should've 1 per franchise.
Hitchikers guide .. with the improbability drive.
"The restaurant is at the *other* end of the universe."
Marvin had to get to Milliways the 'hard' way. No wonder he's depressed!
the event horizon was a fast ship as it folded space to another universe in about 30 seconds
But it only did it twice...
☠️☠️☠️
This chart is for engines that don't fold. Folding engines (Robotech,Dune,Event Horizon) all have the same speed.
A Guild high-liner from Dune.
Die Tardis kommt an noch bevor sie "losfliegt".
Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder (Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr) in Thor: Love and Thunder. Faster than light. And hilarious too.
The Excession from the Iain M Banks novel of the same name, was apparently linked simultaneously above and below normal space, which even the Culture ships couldn't do. They thought this meant it was able to travel instantaneously between different universes. Which sounds like it should count as fast.
One day....yes, one day....
Blakes 7s Liberator Could out run anything in the galaxy
Thanks for information 🎉
Actually, the book says: the infinite impropability engine allows the heart of gold to be everywhere at the same time... Only thing faster than that is bad news.
My 1972 Opel would do Warp 45.655 in 2nd gear. And got great mileage.
They don't make'em like they used to.
From the Ncc-1701D you mix-up warp scales. In TOS and films from that era thay used the formula : warp factor to the power of 3.
In later series they use :warp factor to the power of 10/3 (or wf power 3.3333333) and also included the concept of infinite energy needed to achieve a higher speed.
For Ncc-1701D, max speed would be 1815.85 x c
For Voyager max speed would be 2136.53 x c
For Prometheus max speed would be 2147.26 x c
The Raza from the Dark Matter universe with its blink drive it can go anywhere in the universe in an instant
Using Quantum Slipstream technology, the USS Dauntless, built by a member of Species-116 named Arturis, was capable of 2,629,800 × 299,792,458 m/s.
USS Enterprise was not the first to bear the name. Starfleet originally had NX-01 Enterprise.
To be picky, NX-01 as a Starfleet ship was named Enterprise, but was pre-Federation. NCC-1701 was the first Federation ship to be named Enterprise.
@@matthewsvideos8235 Disagree; its highly unlikely the NX was decommissioned before the Federation Starfleet existed (since it was still in service in 2161), and we know Earth's Starfleet was the core of that organization. So the 1701 would be the first Federation BUILT ship named Enterprise, but not the first (Federation) Starfleet ship to bear that name.
Nerding out with fellow Star Trek fans makes me happy! I was thinking of both of your replies as I flew to the comments...lol
@@Sephiroth144 Good point about the NX. One of those topics with predecessor timelines that can never be fully solved.
@@Sephiroth144If you look at the timeline, and in the final episode of ENT, Archer says they are heading back to earth where the Enterprise will be decommissioned in 2161, at the same time that he made his speech forming the Federation. So both events happened in the same year. Hence why the NX in the fleet museum in Picard was not the NX-01, as why refit a ship that has been decommissioned.
Great vid!!!!
Voyager was also equipped for a short time with a Quantum slip-stream drive, though I don't know if it's faster than a borg vessel in trans-warp. USS Dauntless (STV) was equipped with a similar, and more stable slip- stream drive as well.
Also, forgot anything from Stargate, either the ZPM Equipped USS Odyssey, with its Asgard Hyperdrive, or the Tri-ZPM equipped Atlantis City ship, and it's wormhole drive.
What about Discovery with the spore drive?
Jepp the Woould be faster then the heart of gold
The fastest spaceship of all time wasn't even mentioned. The "Planet Express Delivery Vehicle" piloted by Turanga Leela and her top notch crew of Bender and Philip J Fry proved over and over it's unlimited speed.
this is one month old, so I was hoping to see the USS DISCOVERY with the spore engine.
Technically, the NX-01 Enterprise was the first of it's name.
Conspicuously absent is an awareness of older science fiction. In E.E. "Doc" Smith's _Lensman_ series, published from 1948-1966, the spaceship Dauntless was said to have an easy cruising speed in galactic space of 80 parsecs per hour (~2,290,000 times the speed of light) and once in intergalactic space cruised at a sustained speed of 100,000 parsecs per hour (~2,860,000,000 times the speed of light). This would put it solidly in sixth place on this list, and possibly fifth depending on how much higher its top speed was than its cruising speed.
no mention of "Event Horizon" that used a singularity drive to fold Space time, although passing through dimensions of hell/evil arent normally calculated in MPH...
little note there. the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 was not the first ship named enterprise operated by starfrleet. that was the Enterprise NX 01 which was capable of warp 5.2 in the prequal to the Original series: Star Trek Enterprise. And there where faster ships in the star trek universe than the Borg cube. For example the USS Protostar.
actually the heart of gold travels to all points in the universe at the same time, it then randomly picks one of those points and stops depending on its current probability number.
You forgot the Liberator from Blake's 7
mmh standard x 5 ... but took time to travel within the galaxy so star treck ship like
@@tonyug113 thank you for replying. I believe the top speed of the Liberator was standard x 12
Guild heighliners from Dune fold space, so they move without moving. Can’t get too much faster than that.
The Improbability Drive anyone?

Dude, you bought your goddam AI narrator from China ? I think it originary was trained in mandarin only !

You wish lol
Voyager using slipstream
Weight does not factor in space only how powerful your thrusters is and how fast your jump engines are.
warp 1 is actually 10% of the speed of light...
My imaginary spaceship is so fast, it arrives anywhere before it leaves where it's at. It makes where I'm going into where I've been, confusing everybody. Like... this dude made an order for some self-sealing stem bolts... Asked me when they would be delivered... I said... "Last month, and you're late paying for them."
So not as fast as the TARDIS then? Or a Xeelee ship. Or any of several other time travelling spaceships which can arrive anywhere they want at any time of their choice including well before they left.
@@a-blivvy-yus I mean, the answer to faster travel isn't ever increasing speed, but to go up dimensionally to make space and time irrelevant. Sure, it ruins drag racing, but portal accidents could be of reasonable amusement.
@@audioelitist3677 Just find a setting with 2+ dimensions of time to play with ;)
The Protostar (Star Trek Prodigy) should be on this list.
Guild Heighliners (Dune) were instantaneous.
you have missed several, mainly the Daedalus class ships in stargate sg-1 and Atlantis
Mine is Starfleet is the Nebula-Class Starship.
Oeft out the ship from TAU. It's a book but the ship had a malfunction and kept accelerating to asymptomatic the speed of light. They witnessed heat death and birth of a new universe before repairing.
Ok how about the ORVILLE? It has Quantum Drive.
The speed of the tardis is Infinitiv she got no Limit.
The eye of Harmony is not an engine it’s a power source.
Dune spacing guild.
The Sulaco wasn’t in Alien. It was the second movie. Aliens. In Alien the ship was the Nostromo.
But but but.... The death star to 20 minutes to circle the planet so.... huh?
FTL travel generally goes to Lagrange points in "solar systems" Earth has 3 points you might be able to use, but it might be on the far side of where you wanna shoot so you have to move in with "in system drives" and so 20 minutes to get around a planet. Easy.
Guild ships from Dune.
Aren't you forgetting Discovery starship ? It can travel the universe in a split second ...
Um... Daedalus Class Battle Cruiser? Come on, dude...
No, the Millennium Falcon can make point five (.5) past light speed. It's in the dialog of the original movie people.
