Sub light speed with multilightspeed distances how?
The relative-snail explanation.
The warp field that surrounds the starship is manipulated in order to alter their power and size. The aft portion of the field is made smaller and reaches out behind the starship only a few hundred meters. The aft portion stretches the fabric of space-time behind the vessel, making it larger. The forward section of the warp field becomes larger, stretching out several million meters a head of the vessel. The field then condenses or folds the space-time in front of the vessel to make the space-time in that area smaller. Therefore space and time bends much like the body of a snail to create propulsion. Once the starship has covered the condensed space in front of it the field reforms to do the same process all of again, this process is almost instantaneous and so the vessels speed and direction appears to be constant. This also means that the actual vessel is only traveling at about 0.9 of light speed and so the vessel does not need the infinite energy needed to push it beyond the light barrier. However, if an observer situated on a planet or station were to observe the vessel then it would appear to be traveling beyond the speed of light. There fore the ships speed may only be 0.9 c (‘c’ indicating light speed) but its RELATIVE speed would be [perhaps] 1516 c. (warp nine).
The Subspace explanation.
The ‘subspace’ warp fields that now surround the vessel create a ‘pocket’ of subspace in which the vessel sits. Because subspace conforms to different physical laws than our dimension then the vessel is able to use the aft section of the warp field to create a force on the aft section of the starship pushing it beyond c. Simple!
Both explanations have solid foundations in physics and yet both are completely unrealistic. Evidence from the show seems to point to both explanations, as do the tech manuals. Although the majority of people follow the ‘relative-snail’ explanation. Both explanations also explain why the warp power is needed on at all times during warp (rather than only a burst from the warp engines and then letting inertia do the rest).

I dfiinately like 'Blink of an eye', 'Relativity' and especially 'Body and Soul'

The only thing that I regret is the opportunities lost when I was young. I was very shyIf I met myself when I was young...I swift kick up the Bum would be sufficient.
If you had have done that then you wouldnt be the person you are today, and i'm sure you like that person
I wouldnt like to change anything i have ever done, cos i like what i have become

I would have like to have seen a longer story arc but with the order they were shown didnt allow this to happen and we were left with a very episodic series

There on everyday on Sky one here in the UK but i've seen them all so many times i tend to watch 'Now and Again' on sci-fi

In came back from travelling SE Asia after a year and was introduced to Scorpion pt 1 as my first fix of ST for years, I was compelled to view and see the transition of 7 becoming human or at least part way there. Its like a child being let free for the first time and having to deal with the things we take for granted. I believe Voyager did this in a very adult fashion and made the most of the combination of her and the Doc learning to what it was like to become human.

Poor chap, the only time he seemed to get it right was with Musetta Vander as Tal in 'The Disease', but alas it was not to be
I quite like her, she also played Teal'c's wife in 'The changeling'

I found it very difficult to get into DS9, it put me off ST until i saw Voy

I voted for the EMH because he has the knowledge of all other species.
