  • So I thought the effect used when warping from the point of view of the ship was always pretty interesting.
    The first scene is extra long because it has some /very/ interesting visual effects, some of which are fairly unique. We rarely get to see planetary orbit changes from the point of view of the characters.
    In order the episodes are:
    Star Trek The Next Generation: The Child
    Star Trek The Next Generation: The Schizoid Man
    Star Trek The Next Generation: The Vengeance Factor
    Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Soldiers of the Empire
    Star Trek Deep Space Nine: A Time to Stand
    Star Trek Voyager: The Haunting of Deck Twelve

    1:00 this is one of the very few times that Star Trek ever made you feel like you were really on a ship in space, the way they did the shift of the lighting to show that the ship was changing direction. Really well done.

    • @JeroenDStout
      @JeroenDStout 8 лет назад +117

      In fairness, the inertia dampeners must first 'feel' how much the ship is moving... if you use impulse power, you can predict the torque and acceleration, but if a missile hits the ship there is a sudden jolt and it will take a few moments for the dampeners to kick in, as they can't predict the force.

    This is actually pretty accurate to what it would look like in reality if you went to light speed. Your eyes would start smashing into a bunch of photons as you're approaching the speed of light, so you'd see a bright flash, and since the wavelengths of that light would be effectively shortened by you accelerating toward it it would be blue-shifted.

      Any sane engineer would have no windows at all!
      Have you ever wondered why- before 2009, at least- warp-capable starships in _Star Trek_ never used windows for their bridge viewscreens, but instead giant wall-sized flat-screen computer monitors? (Another exception is shuttles, runabouts and fighters, but that is for a different reason.) This actually goes all the way back to _TOS._ Although we never saw the _Enterprise_ then without the viewscreen turned on, Roddenberry & Co. actually worked it out due to their time serving in the US Navy.
      Matt Jefferies was smart enough to know that, from a structural engineering standpoint, the more holes you put into a pressure hull, the greater you compromise its structural integrity _unless_ specially reinforced during the design and construction phases. (The earliest versions of the DeHavilland Comet suffered their initial crashes because the windows were of the wrong shape, but that wasn't learned until after those planes crashed.) In effect, the _Enterprise-D_ was a colander of thin glass made of explodium compared to the _TOS Enterprise!_
      In addition to this, if you have a big ol' window on the front of your commander center, the enemy knows exactly where you are and can see right through the window at the display screens behind you!
      So, Jefferies and Roddenberry played it _smart-_ the fewer windows, the better. The idea was that, if someone wanted to look outside, all they would have to do is access one of the externally-mounted cameras, and _voila!_ you can see outside your giant tin can! Also, because it's just a giant computer monitor, you can change what it displays at will.
      . . .
      Of course, then Bad Robot came along in 2009, did _minimum_ research, somehow missed this very important point, got impatient, and put a giant fragile glass window right smack on the front of the Bridge because they were lazy and stupid. Unfortunately, they haven't or won't even understand their mistake, and that stupidity was passed on to Secret Hideout who has done just that even into -stpoop.-

      Take the Enterprise D for example, those curved nacelle mounts are curved in the wrong direction for forward acceleration, they would sheer right off. If the nacelles held then the engineering hullwould snap away from the saucer at the thin neck, and a circular saucer puts massive strain on the back trying to support the expansive width. The only ships that look viable without some sort of integrity cheat are the Defiant and Voyager, with the Enterprise E maybe being ok.

      Actually, it's probably incoming EM waves accumulating in the compressed space in front of the ship, before going to such a high energy level that it becomes invisible. Or they found some way to dissipate the energy for the safety of the crew. This is one of the predicted effects of a warp field.

      Initial compression could, logically, be depicted as the demonstrated luminous flare, it is also logical to assume that compression is then dispersed into the many folds of subspace that enshroud the ship, balancing the force much like the structure of an egg would(with help from the structural integrity field of a vessel).

    In Star Wars when one jumps into hyperspace, stars briefly turn into streaks, then everything turns white. Then a blue, white and black tunnel form around your ship and into the direction you are traveling in. Depending on how good the hyperdrive is, one can cross the galactic disk in a matter of weeks. A speed of 5.0 would be very slow, but a speed of 1.0 would be extremely fast. I am not certain, but once you hit zero you are everywhere at once -- traveling at infinite speed. A ship flying at a speed of 1.0 is already going excessively fast. A speed of 1.0 is like... A-wing speeds; Han Solo's ship somehow manages 0.5. In all of the Star Wars works I have read, I have only read about one ship that could pull off 0.4 and it got destroyed later on. My Star Trek knowledge is no where near is good as my Star Wars, but if I had to make a comparison to Star Trek. I would say the hyperspace is a faster version of Star Trek's Slipstream.

      +Ken Burns As I understood it for Star Trek, it was a way of allowing them to travel vast distances in shorter spaces of time working within the current known theory or relativity.
      Otherwise we would ultimately be confined to our own solar system, which would have made for a pretty boring show!
      If we were to compare to Firelfy they got around any such tech by having a single solar system terraformed in entirety. Never travelling beyond such limits. And oddly never featured an alien keeping the human species very much alone!
      As to star wars,,, I always found it appeals entirely to fantasy (where others try to offer some explanation, even Andromeda played on another loophole in the theory of relativity), and what you say is correct... Its pretty much "war" with space thrown in for some POW look at my special effects (coughs 1-2-3 pout pout moan).
      PS, Star Trek only went to warp 9, at warp 10 you were supposedly in all places at once, but in the final episode of TNG in an alternate future they engage warp 13. Its never really been explained. Assumption is they changed the measurement of speed.
      Oh and in Voyager there was one episode (sorry names a loss on me) where they hit warp 10, came out and were exactly where they started.

    Each time you accelerate to a higher warp factor it changes your reception of light emitted from any particle so it appears like streaks.

    Please do one with all the clips of people in windows viewed from outside the ship. Examples: when Picard is first seen in Encounter at Farpoint, or Tuvok looking out his window after kes transforms, or in the good Shepard when we pull up to Janeway’s readyroom window and later leave the ship with the crewman looking out the window on the bottom of the ship. Those types. I don’t know how many examples there are but there should be at lease one or two from each show. Just would be a neat montage.

    The problem with warp speed is that not only does time at the original point basically stop when someone is moving at warp speed but different parts of space do not work the exact same way that earth does simply because of time dilation. That is something they mentioned in the movie "Interstellar".
    it is very possible that if I had warp drive right now and could go anywhere in the universe that I would be able to visit several dozen planets within 10 minutes of earth standard time.

  • @sshepard94

    Given the distance between stars and the (cannon) speeds at various warp factors, I believe the effect of appearing to be passing by lots of distant stars is great for cinema, but far from what the reality would be. And, as others noted, the doppler effect doesn't appear to be accounted for. Of course, I'm still fascinated by visible light making it through the screens when other forms of energy, including laser weapons, are deflected.

    • @compmanio36
      @compmanio36 5 лет назад +3

      Not passing by stars. The idea is these are streaks of interstellar dust being deflected by the navigational deflector and warp field, imparting enough energy that they luminesce and streak as they pass by harmlessly on the edge of the warp field. TNG tech manual went into detail on this but they never explained it in the show.

    I never really thought about the intense light of a local star (sun) shining through all those windows. On the bridge viewscreen, this wouldn't be a problem as the computer would reduce the effect. But could you imagine being asleep while the enterprise warps into a system and the window above your bed is exposed to direct starlight as you enter orbit about one of the star's worlds? I wonder if the transparent aluminum had some sort of automatic light filter built in?

    Wonder if it would be disorienting to see the view of the ship change outside the window without feeling the motion due to the inertial dampers. Like reading in a car; your visual input doesn't match the signals your brain gets from the inner ear....
    And I think we all have to accept that the lines about not warping from within a system are just not true given how often it happens, but to warp from within orbit of a planet? Seems risky for no reason. It's been established that to one degree or another, gravitational fields DO affect warp drive.

    • @tribbleq
      @tribbleq 8 лет назад

      Why is warping within the orbit of a planet risky? Zefram Cochrane's very first warp flight was in at the very best a high orbit above Earth, and also I believe that in "The Voyage Home" the captured klingon bird of prey they're flying goes to warp in the atmosphere, no apparent ill effects.

    • @compmanio36
      @compmanio36 8 лет назад +2

      Because you're changing the gravitational constant of the area in which the warp bubble resides, literally changing the fabric of space time. This is how the warp drive works, by "warping" space. In this way you get around the relativistic constraints of nothing being able to travel faster than the speed of light.
      I imagine that's quite harsh on the orbits and integrity of a planet you're pretty close to, not to mention tidal shifts in oceans, etc.
      Unfortunately the one thing Star Trek hates more than a red shirt is consistency, so they often broke their own rules, much to the confusion of the fans watching.

    • @mcarp555
      @mcarp555 8 лет назад +3

      A warp bubble is a whole helluva lot smaller than a planet. I doubt it would have any serious effect beyond the bubble itself, since ST often shows ships going to warp near other ships. If there was enough disruption to cause a tidal shift in an ocean, it would wreak havoc upon other ships nearby when you go to warp.
