Well, kids are here for Christmas, so I escaped to my den to post this for Chrissy.
For Example: Free Trader Beowulf engages the jump drive between Efate and Alell. This is one parsec jump.
She could traverse this distance in 168 hours, in a range between 151 to 184 hours. If she makes the jump in 151 hours, her highest relative velocity could be 188.4 times c, the speed of light. If she makes the jump in 184 hours, her lowest relative velocity could be 154.1 times c, the speed of light. Her most likely (average) relative velocity is 169.52 times the speed of light c.
The numbers in Columns 3,4,5 are dimensionless (m/s)/(m/s). They indicate the multiplier of (x the speed of light).
The distance of a parsec = 3.26 light years.
The distance of a parsec in meters = 3.04 x 10^16 or 30 quadrillion meters or 30 trillion km using the short scale.
I used excel to calculate
1. The time for light to traverse a parsec in seconds.
2. The relative time (in jump) to traverse a parsec (or parsecs) in seconds per week.
3. This gave relative velocities.
4. I used 10% error (Canon?) for the week in Jump which gives 168 hours plus or minus 10%. This is between 151.2 hours and 184.8 hours as the range for time in jump.
Enjoy!
