Notes:
  • In Trek science, Warp 10 is infinite speed. When traveling at this velocity, one would occupy every point in the universe at the same instant. It is possible that it is somewhere past Warp 10 at which Tom flies. Given some of the formulas for speed, he would be traveling in a complex (a+bi) direction.
