This book is not yet featured on Listopia. May 10, Alice rated it did not like it. I got a copy of this book for free through the Goodreads First Reads program. And I have to admit that even after reading the description, I wasn't really sure what it was supposed to be about. I'm not opposed to the point the author's trying to make, but three things kept it from working: The plot is paper thin and practically transparent.
It ser Well then. It serves only to cover the philosophy with a veneer of fiction, and it doesn't do a very good job at that. The prose is clunky. It's harder to follow than it needs to be.

There are a substantial number of typographical errors, some of which confuse the meaning of the passage. It really looks like an editor never got an eye on this.

Whatever you focus your attention on causes you to attract more of the same. I was reminded of this today when I got myself in a snit over the vaccination legislation on its way to being passed. In the state of Florida, where I live, our representatives are trying to remove any type of exemptions, such as religious or medical which means people will be forced to take some vaccinations.
All beliefs, thoughts, especially attached to a strong emotional current vibrate at a certain frequency. Things, events, people who vibrate harmoniously with these thoughts will gravitate to them. Everything is created through energetic vibration. Anything vibrating at a specific pattern will attract like vibrations. This works on chemicals, physical mental, emotional and spiritual levels. You will attract more of the same thoughts from other people, more of the same circumstances and events that perpetuate this negative thought.
Upcoming Events
I had to remind myself that you always have two choices. A major factor is that, in creating our future, we need to understand we have the power to control our present circumstances. Problems are a normal and natural part of life, and represent the difference between where you are and where you want to be. We can look at them as signposts. There will always be a gap between where we are in any situation, and where we want to be as our lives are about solving problems.
What got me going on this theme, was reading the news about all the people in California who have lost their homes due to the fires. Then there are others who have enormous vitality and more money than they know what to do with. On the surface, it would seem life is unfair. Often, it seems the world is a dark place, and appears to be chaotic. In studying quantum physics, one finds most of what we see as disorder is actually chaotic order.
QP tells us chaos, the actual process of disorder, is normal and natural.

Why him or her? Your experience of living through the destruction is your personalization of the event. Did you die, were you financially ruined forever? The despair caused them to change, and in retrospect, they were thankful for their experience. It means they have learned more about themselves, and are stronger and wiser for the experience. The key is not to personalize every challenge or problem in life by assuming something is happening to you. Each time you ask, Why Me? This type of person makes me pretty suspicious because I sense there is more to them than meets the eye.
They seem totally unrealistic and perhaps even in LaLa Land! Being human makes us susceptible to feeling ill at ease, anxiety prone or just unhappy at times. The individual who is always positive may often use it as a cover-up for unpleasant feelings such as anger, sadness, worry and depression. I would agree with that statement. How else can we contemplate different ways to look at situations and then make positive changes and improvements?
In any instance, it was a result of the influence of alien beings or foreign technology. Later on, a prequel series titled Star Trek: Enterprise , set in and onwards, follows the voyages of the first human ship capable of traveling at warp factor 5. In the series pilot episode " Broken Bow ", Capt.
Archer equates Warp 4. The Next Generation and the subsequent series, Star Trek artist Michael Okuda drew up a new warp scale and devised a formula based on the original one but with an important difference: In the half-open interval from 9 to 10, the exponent of w increases toward infinity. Thus, in the Okuda scale, warp velocities approach Warp 10 asymptotically. According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual there is no exact formula for this interval because the quoted velocities are based on a hand-drawn curve; what can be said is that at velocities greater than warp 9, the form of the warp function changes because of an increase in the exponent of the warp factor w.
Due to the resultant increase in the derivative , even minor changes in the warp factor eventually correspond to a greater than exponential change in velocity. Warp Factor 10 was set as an unattainable maximum according to the new scale, reaching or exceeding Warp 10 required an infinite amount of energy. The Next Generation Technical Manual it was established that the normal operating speed of the Enterprise -D Galaxy class was Warp 6 new scale , the maximum rated cruise was Warp 9.
In two episodes, the Enterprise -D could travel at warp 9. Deep Space Nine Technical Manual the Galaxy -class starships and some other starfleet vessels like Nebula class or Excelsior class were refitted during the Dominion War with newer technology including modifications which increased their maximum speed to Warp 9.
Slipstream (science fiction) - Wikipedia
Starship Spotter reference book states that the Intrepid -class starship Voyager has a maximum sustainable cruising speed of Warp 9. As stated in the collection Star Trek Fact Files no ship, including highly developed ships like the Borg cube, may exceed warp factor 9. To achieve higher speeds, the use of Transwarp technology is required.
In the book Star Trek Encyclopedia , some warp velocities are given directly. For comparison, the following table shows these values and also the calculated speeds of the original warp scale, the calculated speeds of a simplified Okuda scale and some canonical reference values for warp speeds from onscreen sources. Transwarp generally refers to speeds and technologies that are beyond conventional warp drives.
The warp drive has a natural physical or economical limit beyond which higher speeds are no longer possible. The reference work Star Trek Fact Files indicates this limit at warp factor 9. This is the highest conventional warp speed mentioned for a spaceship Borg cube.
Also in the episode Threshold Star Trek Voyager the warp factor 9. This is the last warp factor mentioned before the leap takes place in the transwarp state. In the book Star Trek: Finally, we had to create a back door for various powerful aliens like Q who got the knack of hurling the ship through the room for millions of light years during a commercial break.
The Search for Spock.
The principle of this drive is not explained. Later, in Star Trek VI: In Star Trek Fact Files it is stated that the experiment was a failure and the spaceship was converted to a normal warp drive. To get home faster, a shuttle is modified with novel dilithium crystals. The crew is trying to break the transwarp threshold. This threshold is between warp factor 9. The shuttle allegedly found itself at all points in the universe at the same time during the flight. However, the pilot suffers genetic mutations after the flight, so it is not repeated.
Due to the shuttle's limited memory, only a small portion of the sensor data was recorded. The entire experiment is described in the reference work Star Trek Fact Files. Some episodes later, fictionalized a few months later, the crew of USS Voyager encounters a species called the Voth. This species has spaceships with transwarp drive. However, this drive does not work on the basis of transwarp conduits, as the transwarp drive of the Borg, but is a further development of the conventional warp drive.
The mention of a second Transwarp technology took place in the episode Descent of the series Star Trek: A group of renegade Borg used transwarp conduits. These are wormhole-like tunnels through subspace. It was said in the dialogue that the flight through these tunnels was 20 times faster than the flight with maximum warp speed of the Enterprise. The flight itself was described as follows: There were two ways to use these conduits outside these hubs.
In TNG, the Enterprise was able to open such a channel with a precisely modulated tachyon impulse, traveling 65 light-years. However, when the USS Voyager tried the same thing in Day of Honor , the attempt failed and almost destroyed the ship. The second possibility is the use of the transwarp coil. In episode Dark Frontier the crew of Voyager steals such a coil from the Borg and is able to shorten their journey home by 15 years, before the coil burns out.
Similar to the Borg transwarp conduits, the slipstream is a narrowly focused, directed field that is initiated by manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum using the starship's navigational deflector array. This creates a subspace tunnel, which is projected ahead of the vessel. Once a ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed. To maintain the slipstream, a ship has to constantly modify the quantum field with its deflector dish.
The speed of the drive is inversely proportional to the time and distance. When the crew enters the Dauntless in the episode Hope and Fear for the first time and accidentally activates the propulsion system, the spaceship flies a flight of 15 light-years over a period of about 10 seconds. That is equivalent to approximately 50 million times the speed of light. After realizing that they would have to leave Voyager forever to get home with the Dauntless , the crew tries to match the drive of the USS Voyager to the parameters of the Dauntless.
The modified Voyager is able to cover a distance of light years with the slipstream modification before the system becomes unstable. The way back to Earth is stated in a fake message, created by Arturis, with 7 months aboard the Dauntless. For this period, the stocks are filled.

At a residual distance of 60, light years at this time, this would correspond to a speed of about , times the speed of light or times slower than a short slipstream jump. However, in the episode " Timeless ", the technology proved to be dangerously unstable, resulting in the loss of all hands of the Voyager in an alternate timeline. Due to a phase variance, the slipstream tunnel, produced by a replica slipstream drive of the Voyager , collapsed during the flight and the ship crashed on a planet near the border on the edge of the Delta Quadrant.
Harry Kim and Chakotay survived, because they used the Delta Flyer , which flew ahead of the Voyager , and reached the Earth safely. They used, some years after this event, a temporal communication device to change the timeline and rescue the ship and the crew.
Hyperspace
In addition to the possibility to let a spaceship glide through space in a warp field, there is also space folding in Star Trek. Spatial folding means that two points of space-time are directly connected and an instantaneous change takes place. The space between is simply folded into a higher-dimensional hyperspace or subspace. In the episode That Which Survives of the original series, the Enterprise encountered the remains of people called Kalandans.
