20AU per second is 2000 times the speed of light.

Why do you keep saying this? Did you do the math wrong or is this just a number you pulled out of your ass? Because you're off by about a factor of 5. 20 AU/s is closer to 10,000 c.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

You're already moving MUCH faster than lightspeed when you warp, not to mention jumps and gates.

For reference, light takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel 1 AU.
I want to be the guy who nitpicks and tells you that ships that warp aren't actually faster than light,
because there is nothing faster than light.

Electromagnetic waves inside the warp bubble have the same speed
as electromagnetic waves outside the warp bubble.

To be precise: The ship inside the warp bubble doesn't move at all.
Actually, nothing inside the warp bubble moves during warp travel.

Edit:
And to be even more precise: One could say that not even the warp bubble moves.
It changes it's relative position, yes, but not because it moves,
but because it changes space surrounding it.

To compare:
A common misunderstanding is that people say that galaxies within our real universe drift apart,
which isn't the case. It's just that the distances between galaxies increase,
because the size of the universe increases.

Mind. Blown.


End of nitpicking.

Ahahahaha that's a good one. Just because we don't know anything that moves faster than light, that doesn't mean that there is nothing faster than light. In the dark ages alot of things were thought to be impossible till they got proven wrong. ;) Same goes for all the people who think that Earth inhabits the only intelligent life in the universe.

Just because we haven't seen or heard about something yet, that doesnt means it is impossible but such a thing is the usual reaction for the human brain.

The Bible said nothing is impossible with God and the Bible was pretty much the governing authority of everything at that time so... nope.

But Jesus said "Thou shalt not rip open time and space" before turning many fish into one and wine into bud light. I belive he was crucified the next day

How would people feel about having AU and Parsecs as a travel speed? I would pay ISK to travel faster. I would pay Aurum.



A Parsec is a UNIT OF DISTANCE, NOT SPEED or TIME. Roll

I thought this got famously cleared up in 1977. I guess not.


AU is also a unit of distance... it's that /sec that makes it a rate... kinda like parsecs/sec would be a rate.

changing the units that you use to measure speed of ships in eve will not make them faster... it will give you different values for speed.

wtf??

Thank me later :D

Unless your referring of course to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the whole collection was written between 100BC to 70CE and found only in the 1940s to 1950s, about as original as your gonna get to religious texts without the hundreds of years of copying, translating, misprinting, and so on.

It takes light 8 minuts to travel 1 AU and seeing as how most ships average 3 AU per sec, Id say we more or less are going faster than light. (Although technically since its "warping" we arnt moving at all, space is moveing around us.)

Prior to the 1300's there was no such thing as a "bible" so there was never a time that the "bible" wasn't translated, printed, and edited.
