/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

That's a conspiracy theory I haven't heard before. Enlighten me, how is the speed of light made up?
I’m assuming OP means that the fictional warp drive and light speed drives from the television show and motion picture respectively, are not in fact real. But I could be totally off base and this random commenter on a Star Trek forum created a conspiracy theory nobody has heard of. /s
Just like birds, light doesn't exist. Obviously.
For one you can not go the speed of light, it is not possible.
My point is that the spacecraft in both star wars and star trek behave in a way that suites the plot. If the writing needs a craft to to take longer to get somewhere then they will add distance to the journey or decrease its speed.
It is a waste of time trying to argue about fictional story telling
