If we somehow figured out how to travel at 1000x speed of light, I’m sure we’ll be able to increase that number to 1 million, 1 billion, and beyond. Until we just stopped using “speed of light” as a frame reference because it would be a completely different method of traveling (like instantaneous through a wormhole or something).

Americans will come up with some ridiculous unit for it, like 3 1/16 * 10^24 inches per lunar cycle
Don’t be ridiculous. We all know it’s gonna be “Football field per Superbowl Season”.
Or, y’know, warp factors. XD
Isn’t warp just light speed? I was under the impression that warp 1 is the speed of light, and eg warp 7 being 7x the speed of light
Nope! Warp factors aren’t linear, they’re logarythmic until like warp 9.6 where they go exponentially towards infinity at warp 10.
