NIce bit of Cliff Clavin Trivia....
The Enterprise supposedly can never go Warp 10, because it it did, it would be in like all points in the universe at once... which would make it too easy for them to get around, thus less exiting shows... so it's always Warp 9.X...
Also the unit of measurment used for Warp stuff is the "Cochrane".
When STNG came out I remember reading a book that came out not too long after that dealt with the TinMan episode. This was in concern to a ship that had been built by the race of beings that had been at war with the Borg before they they were the borg.
The ship was built to maintain itself by eating planets. It was capable of taking out whole fleets of Borg ships with ease. At the end of the book the ship ends up going to Warp 10 and the pilot is then encased into a pocket of time that continually repeats itself for all of eternity.
Also later on in Voyager, they disprove this theory and built a ship that could go warp 10. The guy who modified the ship and the captin end up going on a flight and they discribed it as being everywhere at once.
Later in the episode they find out that they had also sped up there own evolution some how. So in a matter of days they transformed into Alligator looking creatues that were genetically far superior to us. Thus saying that eventually we will evolve into a lesser being that is also at the same time Genetically far superior.
At that point I stopped watched Star Trek because it had gotten to the point that is just ridiculous.
Also in the movie First Contact Cochran does not invent the warp drive until after WWIII when most of the world is in devastation.
