You would see "zoom lines", trailing the object that is moving at light speed, parallel to the motion of travel.

Oh. I thought I had finally figured out what is meant by "the butt of the joke".

Uh, no, have you ?
What is warp?

I understood zoom lines, I was just myself.

Here you go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive
But in essence, Warp 9 = ~1516 times the speed of light - so pretty fast!

Warp 9.9 is considered the best a standard Warp drive can deliver, to go faster, you need to upgrade to a TransWarp drive or better.

Now back to jokes

I think it’s something like The Force but I’m not sure.

Hey, that's easy, it's the speed of attitude change when you tell an airline captain that he can't have the meal he wants!

This is a sailing forum, therefore:

Warp:

Nautical. to move (a vessel) into a desired place or position by hauling on a rope that has been fastened to something fixed, as a buoy or anchor.

I guess Mr. Scott has a big windlass and a long rope and just drags the Enterprise across the universe

Warp?? It's the bits of thread that run orthogonaly to the weft in your sails (unless they are some non-woven material).
