The TARDIS should be first, because enjoy only can it travel anywhere in the universe instantly, it can also travel backward in time. So even if the infinite probability drive could get you somewhere instantly too, the TARDIS could have been at the destination before you even leave the starting point.
The infinite improbability drive also can time travel. For instance, the probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
The heat of gold, according to Douglas Adams (who by the way was at least partially responsible for Dr. Who's success) can travel anywhere, anywhen providing you know how improbable it is to get there. So it will always beat the Tardis, providing you know how improbable it would be to be there before the tardis.
@@scotthodgins7975 But working out the various different kinds of infinity would usually be impossible, due to the answer having an infinite number of digits, and thus being impossible to describe to the improbability drive. So only a finite subset of destinations are actually possible.
@VPWedding from what I remember, all you need to do is tell the computer where you want to go, and the Heart of Gold will tell space to "get knotted" and park itself exactly where you wanted to be... when you wanted to be there.
Startrek ships has wrong speeds. TNG ships use different formula. So meanwhile Warp 8 of USS Enterprise-A is indeed 512×c, Warp 8 of USS Enterprise-D is 1024×c, and Warp 9.975 of Voyager translates into 5552×c.
I'm just wondering where the Glorious Heritage Class is with the Andromeda Ascendant. It has a slipstream drive that goes over galaxies. Or the ancient spaceship Atlantis with the Galactic Hyperdrive, which travels 2 million light years within an hour.
A fun little secret side story of the improbablity drive is that the reason the old radio show, the bbc show the book and the movie are all different is because the drive doesnt just change things around it, it changes the entire universe.
I feel it would be an interesting exercise to compare the fastest "sublight" engines... In many cases the distances and times mentioned imply that they can propel their ships many times the speed of light.
It's ok, they basically got every single one of the "speeds" listed here wrong anyway, quite a few by insanely large margins. Also its not just slower than an X-wing, its slower than an ISD, considerably so. The 1st death star had a class 4 hyperdrive (2nd didn't have one when destroyed), an ISD has a class 2, an Xwing for reference is a class 1 and the Falcon is a class 0.5
The Death Star has a class 4 hyper drive? Okay, I'll take your word for it. But that would make it slower, much slower than any warship in the imperial fleet - certainly far slower than an Imperial Class Star destroyer with its class 1 hyperdrive.

The shuttlecraft Cochrane from the USS Voyager also deserves a mention. During Voyager's experiments with transwarp, the Cochrane did achieve infinite velocity, which meant it could be everywhere at the same time!
@@stephendarroch5565 The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
It can arrive billions of years before or trillions of years later, so in some instances it is going infinitely fast and sometimes you could crawl to its destination faster. It's real travel time is the time it takes to do the gaa wheew, gaa wheew, ga tic it, ga tic it. 😂
The tardis doesnt move! Only the Portal moves. The Real tardis is not Part of Our universe. The tardis doesnt fly! Ist in its Name "Time and Relative dimensions in space
how is the heart of gold faster than the Tardis? A Tardis travels via the time vortex. Space and time travel are not really distinguished here. The Tardis arrives exactly when the pilot is wanting it to arrive even if it is in the relative past. So while the Heart of gold may travel instantanous so does the tardis. Even more so because the tardis can arrive before the race even started. Something the Heart of gold is incapable of.
The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.

Wrong. The warp scale changed between Star Trek TOS and TNG. You’re using the original TOS warp scale of warp factor cubed for all Trek ships. TNG and later used a different warp scale that goes asymptotic between warp 9 and 10, so Voyager’s warp 9.975 would be much faster than 992 c, and Prometheus’ warp 9.99 would be way more than 5 c faster than Voyager.

Yes the ship was built before Federation was a thing, but it survived the creation of Federation, so still would be the first Federation ship of that name.

That wasn't Voyager though. It was one of their smaller shuttles, the Delta Flayer. Voyager was close to it, but never achieved the maximum Warp factor of 10.
No there was a Warp 5 enterprise 10 years before enterprise 1701 you do not know Star Trek. whoever did this chart did not know what they were writing about.
They specified that the NCC-1701 was the *FEDERATION'S* first Enterprise. The Federation didn't exist yet when the NX-01 was in service, and it was a pre-Federation Earth Starfleet ship, not a Federation vessel. If you're going to count pre-Federation human ships named "Enterprise" as Federation ships named Enterprise, you may as well include the ones that sit on the water and are powered by wind in their sails. It *WAS* a spaceship named Enterprise which existed before the NCC-1701 but the first Federation ship of that name was the NCC-1701.
@@a-blivvy-yus Kirk's NCC-1701 wasn't built the day Federation was formed.

3:04 Error Between Star Trek the old series and Star Trek the new stuff, the definition of warp speeds CHANGED, to a exponent of 4 from an exponent of 3. 9.95 in NEW trek is a little over 9800 times the speed of light.
I would put the TARDIS as #1 because it can actually reach its destination before it departed its origin. Therefore, it it traveling faster than infinity or factored by the range of imaginary numbers (the square root of a negative number). Discovery should be #2 because it was instantaneous. Heart of Gold took a fraction of a second, but still a positive number greater than zero. That it how I see it.
actually the heart of gold travels to all points in the universe at the same time, it then randomly picks one of those points and stops depending on its current probability number.
Voyager was also equipped for a short time with a Quantum slip-stream drive, though I don't know if it's faster than a borg vessel in trans-warp. USS Dauntless (STV) was equipped with a similar, and more stable slip- stream drive as well. Also, forgot anything from Stargate, either the ZPM Equipped USS Odyssey, with its Asgard Hyperdrive, or the Tri-ZPM equipped Atlantis City ship, and it's wormhole drive.
My imaginary spaceship is so fast, it arrives anywhere before it leaves where it's at. It makes where I'm going into where I've been, confusing everybody. Like... this dude made an order for some self-sealing stem bolts... Asked me when they would be delivered... I said... "Last month, and you're late paying for them."
So not as fast as the TARDIS then? Or a Xeelee ship. Or any of several other time travelling spaceships which can arrive anywhere they want at any time of their choice including well before they left.
@@a-blivvy-yus I mean, the answer to faster travel isn't ever increasing speed, but to go up dimensionally to make space and time irrelevant. Sure, it ruins drag racing, but portal accidents could be of reasonable amusement.
Actually, the book says: the infinite impropability engine allows the heart of gold to be everywhere at the same time... Only thing faster than that is bad news.
The speeds of the Heart of Gold (HoG)and the TARDIS are wrong. Also they should be tied for first place. The Tardis could actually arrive BEFORE it left which is much faster than suggested in the video. As such it is infinitely impossible for the HoG to get there first.... which would make the HoG fast enough to get there first. But KNOWING that the HoG would win would mean that it's no longer infinitely impossible so that would slow it enough for the Tardis to be faster. But if the Tardis is faster then..... ad infinitum.

@@Variable-2-actual Star Trek's Warp drive actually does fold space. It's explained like that. It folds the space around the ship (her nacelles create a Warp field) and that makes her go faster. So if Star Trek is included, any other folding engine should be as well.
Based on the speed given for the Millennium Falcon, it could cross the galaxy in about 3-4 milliseconds and travel between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy in 0.07 seconds, which is contradicted by what we see on film.
I'm sorry, but the TARDIS can go from year one to year 100 trillion instantly. It can also travel from one side of the universe to the other and arrive before it leaves. That makes it the fastest ship in fiction.
The fastest spaceship of all time wasn't even mentioned. The "Planet Express Delivery Vehicle" piloted by Turanga Leela and her top notch crew of Bender and Philip J Fry proved over and over it's unlimited speed.
You forgot to mention anything about Stargate the ships are crazy fast. I believe all the ships calcs are off the Death Star is actually alot faster than what you have it to be, having the ships that you don't know what the speed of the ship is terrible. Destiny from Stargate is not just better but it can also do void jump between galaxy on a daily basis.
actually the Stargate ships are probably in the top 3 in real life, in SF there are few ships that can change galaxies, 40k and Stargate for example it is impossible to do so, on the other hand in Stargate to change the galaxy the destiny takes between 1 to 3 years to do it and the human ships with the propulsion as kept a few weeks which places them very very far become enormously frank, even if it is not only in this domain that the ships of targate surpass by far the other franchise

Heart of Gold was the most entertaining way to travel across the universe with its improbability drive. You left one ship off the list though which may have been even faster: Spaceball One! It went to plaid! Nothing should ever go to plaid! ;)
You guys have your hyperdrive classes backward. The lower the number, the faster the ship. The class 0.5 hyperdrive on the YT-1300 Millennium Falcon enables it to cross an average galaxy of 120,000 light-years in 2-3 days. The Class 1.0 HD of the Imperial I & IIs enables it to cross a same-sized Galaxy in just under a week.
USS Discovery's Spore Drive allowed the ship to jump 51,450 light years in approximately 3 seconds (DSC, "New Eden"), roughly 500,000,000,000 times the speed of light.
The Excession from the Iain M Banks novel of the same name, was apparently linked simultaneously above and below normal space, which even the Culture ships couldn't do. They thought this meant it was able to travel instantaneously between different universes. Which sounds like it should count as fast.
Star Trek Voyager had the Delta Flyer, it was over warp 10. Theory is it is like the heart of gold. The delta flyer did warp 13 if I remember correctly.
no mention of "Event Horizon" that used a singularity drive to fold Space time, although passing through dimensions of hell/evil arent normally calculated in MPH...
FTL travel generally goes to Lagrange points in "solar systems" Earth has 3 points you might be able to use, but it might be on the far side of where you wanna shoot so you have to move in with "in system drives" and so 20 minutes to get around a planet. Easy.
little note there. the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 was not the first ship named enterprise operated by starfrleet. that was the Enterprise NX 01 which was capable of warp 5.2 in the prequal to the Original series: Star Trek Enterprise. And there where faster ships in the star trek universe than the Borg cube. For example the USS Protostar.
i'd say the Tartis would be faster then the heart of gold, as the tartis can travel not only through space, but also through time. While the heart of gold can only travel through space.
Yes but the improbability engine will figure out it's in a race and get there faster than the TARDIS, might be fractions of a pico-second ahead but will still win.
@@colinmoore7460 The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
Your warp factor speeds are way off. You forgot that the warp factor scale is different between the 23rd and 24th centuries, so while the original Enterprise is accurate, you claimed the rest of the Starfleet ships are significantly slower than they actually are.
Your chart is wrong because it fails to include the Imperium of Man (40K) whose ships can cross the galaxy in a matter of months, putting it on par with the fastest ships on the list. You have the Aeldari who, since you decided to include the Borg and set the precedent for assisted travel (they achieve their speeds via Transwarp conduits, an external construct), the Aeldari can travel even faster via the Webway. Then there is the Necrons whose ships are arguably faster than the the IoM. Inclusion of the 40K races would push out a third of this list. You also fail to mention Dune's Spacing Guild whose Highliners can fold space and travel instantly which is the fastest of any of them. None of these are obscure IPs and are both popular.
And if you're counting the Borg as assisted travel and introducing the webway, Stargate's Puddle Jumpers (and the Ori ships) get instantaneous interstellar or intergalactic travel using stargates/supergates. And if you consider novels (which are somewhat "obscure" in modern media by default), you could put several entire species from the Xeelee Sequence in that "instantaneous" tier of speed or a half-step below it, and the Xeelee and Photino Birds can go even faster than instantaneous because time manipulation drives are a thing. On which topic, we can go back to mainstream sci-fi and throw the TARDIS up on that top tier of better-than-instant travel to anywhere.
rom the moment the ships cannot leave their galaxy they are not fast, the tardis can do it, the ships (Asgard, ancient, human) can also do it and even much more quickly than in 40k which takes months to cross the galaxy for a few weeks to change galaxies in Stargate, they certain their place in the ranking alongside Star Trek and Star Wars but not the fastest
@@Multors So you're saying Usain Bolt isn't fast because he can only run 100m at the fastest speed any human has ever run? Being fast over short distances but unable to sustain that speed long-term, or being unable to travel across a vast empty space with no way to refuel or otherwise keep your crews alive while travelling, or relying on something which isn't available in the void between galaxies, doesn't make the speed any less fast.
@@a-blivvy-yus I expressed myself badly sorry, yes the speed in 40k is great, even more than that in Star Wars but we are talking here about pure speed in a ranking a ship takes months to cross its galaxy is not fast in comparison of one that can cross part of its own plus reach its neighboring galaxy in just a few weeks, the difference is unimaginable
From the Ncc-1701D you mix-up warp scales. In TOS and films from that era thay used the formula : warp factor to the power of 3. In later series they use :warp factor to the power of 10/3 (or wf power 3.3333333) and also included the concept of infinite energy needed to achieve a higher speed. For Ncc-1701D, max speed would be 1815.85 x c For Voyager max speed would be 2136.53 x c For Prometheus max speed would be 2147.26 x c
This is impressive, they got SO MANY things completely wrong. The Millennium Falcon cannot travel at a quadrillion c, if it did it could cross the Milky Way (and presumably the galaxy Far Far Away) in under _one second_ . Yet we saw that Han needed several hours at least to get from Tatooine to Alderaan. The Death Star is not faster than an X-wing. Etc.

This list is as useful as trying to use a roll of toilet paper to soak up an ocean. So many errors😂
The TARDIS should be first, because enjoy only can it travel anywhere in the universe instantly, it can also travel backward in time. So even if the infinite probability drive could get you somewhere instantly too, the TARDIS could have been at the destination before you even leave the starting point.
The infinite improbability drive also can time travel. For instance, the probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
The heat of gold, according to Douglas Adams (who by the way was at least partially responsible for Dr. Who's success) can travel anywhere, anywhen providing you know how improbable it is to get there. So it will always beat the Tardis, providing you know how improbable it would be to be there before the tardis.
@@scotthodgins7975 But working out the various different kinds of infinity would usually be impossible, due to the answer having an infinite number of digits, and thus being impossible to describe to the improbability drive. So only a finite subset of destinations are actually possible.
@@scotthodgins7975 yep! In addition, it is highly improbable that the TARDIS wouldn't make it to the destination so.... 😋
@VPWedding from what I remember, all you need to do is tell the computer where you want to go, and the Heart of Gold will tell space to "get knotted" and park itself exactly where you wanted to be... when you wanted to be there.
No SG-1 Asgard ships? The old Biliskners can cross our Galaxy in seconds, and between Galaxies in a couple of days. O'Neills are even faster.
Heart of Gold doesn't move.
It moves the universe around it.
Startrek ships has wrong speeds. TNG ships use different formula. So meanwhile Warp 8 of USS Enterprise-A is indeed 512×c, Warp 8 of USS Enterprise-D is 1024×c, and Warp 9.975 of Voyager translates into 5552×c.
I'm just wondering where the Glorious Heritage Class is with the Andromeda Ascendant. It has a slipstream drive that goes over galaxies. Or the ancient spaceship Atlantis with the Galactic Hyperdrive, which travels 2 million light years within an hour.
Glad you mentioned Andromeda. Beka Valentine is a great Slipstream pilot.

@@timdoyle3028that's how all warp drives works, just to a lesser degree. Hyperspace same thing different method.
It goes faster if you rub cheetah blood on it... So I've heard.
A fun little secret side story of the improbablity drive is that the reason the old radio show, the bbc show the book and the movie are all different is because the drive doesnt just change things around it, it changes the entire universe.
Problem is that for all practical purposes a lot of ships move at the speed of plot.
I feel it would be an interesting exercise to compare the fastest "sublight" engines... In many cases the distances and times mentioned imply that they can propel their ships many times the speed of light.
The deathstar was slower then an X Wing...
It's ok, they basically got every single one of the "speeds" listed here wrong anyway, quite a few by insanely large margins. Also its not just slower than an X-wing, its slower than an ISD, considerably so. The 1st death star had a class 4 hyperdrive (2nd didn't have one when destroyed), an ISD has a class 2, an Xwing for reference is a class 1 and the Falcon is a class 0.5
And yet its so small, it evades our turbo lasers!
*than
The Death Star has a class 4 hyper drive? Okay, I'll take your word for it. But that would make it slower, much slower than any warship in the imperial fleet - certainly far slower than an Imperial Class Star destroyer with its class 1 hyperdrive.
I was looking for this. I was thinking that they thought larger numbered class hyperdrives were faster until they had the falcon on there.
That is correct, a class 4 drive is slower than class 1.
NX-01 was the first Starfleet vessel to be named Enterprise. Literally a show about it called "Enterprise".

Sorry but a TARDIS can arrive at its destination BEFORE it left its original point so wouldnt that actually be quicker than the Heart of Gold?
@@stephendarroch5565 The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
It can arrive billions of years before or trillions of years later, so in some instances it is going infinitely fast and sometimes you could crawl to its destination faster. It's real travel time is the time it takes to do the gaa wheew, gaa wheew, ga tic it, ga tic it. 😂
So can the HMS Bounty, assuming it picks up enough speed to get into time warp.
Any FTL ship can arrive at its destination before it leaves its origin. That's pretty much the definition of FTL: it breaks causality.
The tardis doesnt move! Only the Portal moves. The Real tardis is not Part of Our universe. The tardis doesnt fly! Ist in its Name "Time and Relative dimensions in space
how is the heart of gold faster than the Tardis? A Tardis travels via the time vortex. Space and time travel are not really distinguished here. The Tardis arrives exactly when the pilot is wanting it to arrive even if it is in the relative past. So while the Heart of gold may travel instantanous so does the tardis. Even more so because the tardis can arrive before the race even started. Something the Heart of gold is incapable of.
The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
The Heart of Gold can clearly time travel, it took them to the Restaurant at the end of the Universe.
The Heart of Gold doesn't travel, per se. It just selects the universe, amongst the multiverse, where you're already at your destination.
You forgot Discovery and its spore drive. opps.....
Spore drive requires the Mycelial network. As stated in DIS. The network only spans the Milky Way Galaxy.
STD does not exist. Even fanfiction is more canon that that shit.
@@TechPorkChopuhh no, the mycelial network just gets thinner in the galactic barrier BUT it does exist far beyond the Milky Way, in the very end the mycelial network is another universe within ours. Even inside the wormhole where the Discovery-A went through, there was a mycelial network (disorganized, mixed and messed up but it was there, kind of what happened with TransWarp conduits by that century)
Opps indeed! 😂. Oops!
@tomascernak6112 take a freaking pill
this is one month old, so I was hoping to see the USS DISCOVERY with the spore engine.
Wrong. The warp scale changed between Star Trek TOS and TNG. You’re using the original TOS warp scale of warp factor cubed for all Trek ships. TNG and later used a different warp scale that goes asymptotic between warp 9 and 10, so Voyager’s warp 9.975 would be much faster than 992 c, and Prometheus’ warp 9.99 would be way more than 5 c faster than Voyager.
Actually the NX-01 was the first Federation starship to be named Enterprise.
From the show "Star Trek - Enterprise".
The NX-01 Enterprise will be a Starfleet vessel, designed and commissioned well before the founding of the "Federation".🤓

NO, she was the first Starfleet ship. Was she in service when the Federation was formed and Starfleet stopped being an Earth organization?
@@sergioaccioly5219 I think she was in active service for a bit after the forming of United Federation of Planets. She even got a refit, that gave her a secondary hul, like the older ... I mean newer ships had. God, that's confusing, when you talk prequels and long existing shows together. So the NX-01 got a refit and still carried her name proudly before being decomisioned. There are models of that refit, that people can buy, no? So it certainly existed in universe. Yes the ship was built before Federation was a thing, but it survived the creation of Federation, so still would be the first Federation ship of that name.

The TARDIS popped in and out of the universe in minutes in several stories.
Voyager is actually the fastest, it went warp 10 one time, which put them simultaneously in every point in the universe at once.
That wasn't Voyager though. It was one of their smaller shuttles, the Delta Flayer. Voyager was close to it, but never achieved the maximum Warp factor of 10.
@@Croftice1 Right lol
No there was a Warp 5 enterprise 10 years before enterprise 1701 you do not know Star Trek. whoever did this chart did not know what they were writing about.
Agreed. Johnathan Archer's NX-01 Enterprise was the first warp-five Earth vessel. NX-01 was much earlier than Kirk's NCC-1701 Enterprise.
They specified that the NCC-1701 was the *FEDERATION'S* first Enterprise. The Federation didn't exist yet when the NX-01 was in service, and it was a pre-Federation Earth Starfleet ship, not a Federation vessel. If you're going to count pre-Federation human ships named "Enterprise" as Federation ships named Enterprise, you may as well include the ones that sit on the water and are powered by wind in their sails.
It *WAS* a spaceship named Enterprise which existed before the NCC-1701 but the first Federation ship of that name was the NCC-1701.

Between Star Trek the old series and Star Trek the new stuff, the definition of warp speeds CHANGED, to a exponent of 4 from an exponent of 3.
9.95 in NEW trek is a little over 9800 times the speed of light.

I would put the TARDIS as #1 because it can actually reach its destination before it departed its origin. Therefore, it it traveling faster than infinity or factored by the range of imaginary numbers (the square root of a negative number). Discovery should be #2 because it was instantaneous. Heart of Gold took a fraction of a second, but still a positive number greater than zero. That it how I see it.
The tardis doesnt travel only the Portal moves
If I remember the Enterprise D hit 9.8 or 9.9 at least
actually the heart of gold travels to all points in the universe at the same time, it then randomly picks one of those points and stops depending on its current probability number.
Space balls with ludicrous speed is definitely the fastest
Warp 9.8 - more then 2000 speed of light.

Voyager was also equipped for a short time with a Quantum slip-stream drive, though I don't know if it's faster than a borg vessel in trans-warp. USS Dauntless (STV) was equipped with a similar, and more stable slip- stream drive as well.
Also, forgot anything from Stargate, either the ZPM Equipped USS Odyssey, with its Asgard Hyperdrive, or the Tri-ZPM equipped Atlantis City ship, and it's wormhole drive.

Futurama space ship went to the edge of the universe and came back in a week. Beat that!
Actually, the book says: the infinite impropability engine allows the heart of gold to be everywhere at the same time... Only thing faster than that is bad news.
The speeds of the Heart of Gold (HoG)and the TARDIS are wrong. Also they should be tied for first place. The Tardis could actually arrive BEFORE it left which is much faster than suggested in the video. As such it is infinitely impossible for the HoG to get there first.... which would make the HoG fast enough to get there first. But KNOWING that the HoG would win would mean that it's no longer infinitely impossible so that would slow it enough for the Tardis to be faster. But if the Tardis is faster then..... ad infinitum.

USS Enterprise was not the first to bear the name. Starfleet originally had NX-01 Enterprise.
To be picky, NX-01 as a Starfleet ship was named Enterprise, but was pre-Federation. NCC-1701 was the first Federation ship to be named Enterprise.
@@matthewsvideos8235 Disagree; its highly unlikely the NX was decommissioned before the Federation Starfleet existed (since it was still in service in 2161), and we know Earth's Starfleet was the core of that organization. So the 1701 would be the first Federation BUILT ship named Enterprise, but not the first (Federation) Starfleet ship to bear that name.

@@Sephiroth144 Good point about the NX. One of those topics with predecessor timelines that can never be fully solved.
@@Sephiroth144If you look at the timeline, and in the final episode of ENT, Archer says they are heading back to earth where the Enterprise will be decommissioned in 2161, at the same time that he made his speech forming the Federation.

Great vid!!!!
the event horizon was a fast ship as it folded space to another universe in about 30 seconds
But it only did it twice...
☠️☠️☠️
This chart is for engines that don't fold. Folding engines (Robotech,Dune,Event Horizon) all have the same speed.
@@Variable-2-actual Star Trek's Warp drive actually does fold space. It's explained like that. It folds the space around the ship (her nacelles create a Warp field) and that makes her go faster. So if Star Trek is included, any other folding engine should be as well.
Based on the speed given for the Millennium Falcon, it could cross the galaxy in about 3-4 milliseconds and travel between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy in 0.07 seconds, which is contradicted by what we see on film.
All of the ships have gone into the deep past - This is what happens when you exceed light speed
997x the speed of light sounds a little bit absurd
I'm sorry, but the TARDIS can go from year one to year 100 trillion instantly. It can also travel from one side of the universe to the other and arrive before it leaves. That makes it the fastest ship in fiction.
So many ships. So many speeds. Great to see the comparisons between the crafts mentioned.
The fastest spaceship of all time wasn't even mentioned. The "Planet Express Delivery Vehicle" piloted by Turanga Leela and her top notch crew of Bender and Philip J Fry proved over and over it's unlimited speed.

You forgot to mention anything about Stargate the ships are crazy fast. I believe all the ships calcs are off the Death Star is actually alot faster than what you have it to be, having the ships that you don't know what the speed of the ship is terrible. Destiny from Stargate is not just better but it can also do void jump between galaxy on a daily basis.
actually the Stargate ships are probably in the top 3 in real life, in SF there are few ships that can change galaxies, 40k and Stargate for example it is impossible to do so, on the other hand in Stargate to change the galaxy the destiny takes between 1 to 3 years to do it and the human ships with the propulsion as kept a few weeks which places them very very far become enormously frank, even if it is not only in this domain that the ships of targate surpass by far the other franchise

The TARDIS is a time machine which can get to its destination a day or so before the other ships arrive.

@@EricSchoutens That was a great show, trying to figure out who those people were.
Heart of Gold was the most entertaining way to travel across the universe with its improbability drive. You left one ship off the list though which may have been even faster: Spaceball One! It went to plaid! Nothing should ever go to plaid! ;)
You guys have your hyperdrive classes backward. The lower the number, the faster the ship. The class 0.5 hyperdrive on the YT-1300 Millennium Falcon enables it to cross an average galaxy of 120,000 light-years in 2-3 days. The Class 1.0 HD of the Imperial I & IIs enables it to cross a same-sized Galaxy in just under a week.
I was expecting some Stargate intergalactic vessels before getting to the TARDIS :)
What about spaceball1 where does plaid fall in this list
USS Discovery's Spore Drive allowed the ship to jump 51,450 light years in approximately 3 seconds (DSC, "New Eden"), roughly 500,000,000,000 times the speed of light.
What is with the ship from supernova or the Event Horizon?
The Excession from the Iain M Banks novel of the same name, was apparently linked simultaneously above and below normal space, which even the Culture ships couldn't do. They thought this meant it was able to travel instantaneously between different universes. Which sounds like it should count as fast.
What about Blink drive of Razza ship (Dark mater series) and Spore drive about Star trek Discovery?
Star Trek Voyager had the Delta Flyer, it was over warp 10. Theory is it is like the heart of gold. The delta flyer did warp 13 if I remember correctly.
no mention of "Event Horizon" that used a singularity drive to fold Space time, although passing through dimensions of hell/evil arent normally calculated in MPH...
The TARDIS should be 1. Not arguing about it.
where are you getting your info from? I'm not remotely convinced the Death Star can travel 1000,000 times the speed of light.
But but but.... The death star to 20 minutes to circle the planet so.... huh?
FTL travel generally goes to Lagrange points in "solar systems" Earth has 3 points you might be able to use, but it might be on the far side of where you wanna shoot so you have to move in with "in system drives" and so 20 minutes to get around a planet. Easy.
little note there. the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 was not the first ship named enterprise operated by starfrleet. that was the Enterprise NX 01 which was capable of warp 5.2 in the prequal to the Original series: Star Trek Enterprise. And there where faster ships in the star trek universe than the Borg cube. For example the USS Protostar.
This list should've 1 per franchise.
i'd say the Tartis would be faster then the heart of gold, as the tartis can travel not only through space, but also through time. While the heart of gold can only travel through space.
Yes but the improbability engine will figure out it's in a race and get there faster than the TARDIS, might be fractions of a pico-second ahead but will still win.

@@colinmoore7460 The probability that the Heart of Gold can arrive before the TARDIS is highly improbable and therefore the infinite improbability drive will allow the Heart of Gold to arrive first.
Your warp factor speeds are way off. You forgot that the warp factor scale is different between the 23rd and 24th centuries, so while the original Enterprise is accurate, you claimed the rest of the Starfleet ships are significantly slower than they actually are.
Your chart is wrong because it fails to include the Imperium of Man (40K) whose ships can cross the galaxy in a matter of months, putting it on par with the fastest ships on the list. You have the Aeldari who, since you decided to include the Borg and set the precedent for assisted travel (they achieve their speeds via Transwarp conduits, an external construct), the Aeldari can travel even faster via the Webway. Then there is the Necrons whose ships are arguably faster than the the IoM. Inclusion of the 40K races would push out a third of this list. You also fail to mention Dune's Spacing Guild whose Highliners can fold space and travel instantly which is the fastest of any of them. None of these are obscure IPs and are both popular.
And if you're counting the Borg as assisted travel and introducing the webway, Stargate's Puddle Jumpers (and the Ori ships) get instantaneous interstellar or intergalactic travel using stargates/supergates. And if you consider novels (which are somewhat "obscure" in modern media by default), you could put several entire species from the Xeelee Sequence in that "instantaneous" tier of speed or a half-step below it, and the Xeelee and Photino Birds can go even faster than instantaneous because time manipulation drives are a thing. On which topic, we can go back to mainstream sci-fi and throw the TARDIS up on that top tier of better-than-instant travel to anywhere.
rom the moment the ships cannot leave their galaxy they are not fast, the tardis can do it, the ships (Asgard, ancient, human) can also do it and even much more quickly than in 40k which takes months to cross the galaxy for a few weeks to change galaxies in Stargate, they certain their place in the ranking alongside Star Trek and Star Wars but not the fastest
@@Multors So you're saying Usain Bolt isn't fast because he can only run 100m at the fastest speed any human has ever run? Being fast over short distances but unable to sustain that speed long-term, or being unable to travel across a vast empty space with no way to refuel or otherwise keep your crews alive while travelling, or relying on something which isn't available in the void between galaxies, doesn't make the speed any less fast.
@@a-blivvy-yus I expressed myself badly sorry, yes the speed in 40k is great, even more than that in Star Wars but we are talking here about pure speed in a ranking a ship takes months to cross its galaxy is not fast in comparison of one that can cross part of its own plus reach its neighboring galaxy in just a few weeks, the difference is unimaginable
@@Multors Yeah that's a good point.
From the Ncc-1701D you mix-up warp scales. In TOS and films from that era thay used the formula : warp factor to the power of 3.
In later series they use :warp factor to the power of 10/3 (or wf power 3.3333333) and also included the concept of infinite energy needed to achieve a higher speed.
For Ncc-1701D, max speed would be 1815.85 x c
For Voyager max speed would be 2136.53 x c
For Prometheus max speed would be 2147.26 x c
Aren't you forgetting Discovery starship ? It can travel the universe in a split second ...
How about SGU destiny or Asgard ship or beaming
This is impressive, they got SO MANY things completely wrong. The Millennium Falcon cannot travel at a quadrillion c, if it did it could cross the Milky Way (and presumably the galaxy Far Far Away) in under _one second_ . Yet we saw that Han needed several hours at least to get from Tatooine to Alderaan. The Death Star is not faster than an X-wing. Etc.
