Does anyone Know how to convert from Warp speed, Trans Warp, And Impulse to normal units of speed, like metres/second, or n terms of The Speed Of Light ( c ) ???
Also, Why cant you go at warp 10 ??

yes, it depends if you wan't to calculate it in TOS scale or TNG scale. goto http://ditl.org/scitech/datwarpscales.htm for a detailed overview. if you use TOS scale, its just cubed (V/c = WF3). the TNG scale is based on the intesteller conditions, not just the raw speed, e.g. the warp speed is still 9 in an ion storm, but may only be warp 3 raw speed (TOS scale). impulse speeds can be up to .75c, the ambassodor class can accelerate 10-15k/m per second, or 1,000-1,500g's per second. warp 10, 20, 30 and 40 are theredically impossible. transwarp is warp 11 - 39.
