@@GiantFreakinRobot At LEAST you topped it with the Heart of Gold! Spaceball 1 was my first guess, too, until I remembered that the Infinite Improbability Drive takes it to (through?) every point in the universe in an instant. Kudos, man!
I do like the original TARDIS idea. None of this flying about faff... It is just a door to another dimension which can materialize wherever or whenever you (or it) chooses. The physical bit in this dimension has no persistence really. But yes, a time machine is always fastest ;)
Glad to know that we're in agreement on the number one! Because of course it's the fastest. When the Infinite Improbability Drive, it doesn't just go from point A to B. It goes from point A to every single other point in multiple universes at the same time!
@@GiantFreakinRobot Ummm, bad news already beat it in the books 🤷♂😂 And then there's the real life theory that there's only 1 electron that, a bit like the heart of gold is everywhere in every atom all at once......It hitches a ride on a cat in a box 😉😂
how LIKELY is it that you would miss the heart of gold entirely, i was asking myself throughout the video. as it turns out, that was INFINITELY IMPROBABLE.
Can't believe you didn't have the Shuttlecraft Cochrane in this list from Star Trek VOY. The only craft in ST to have ever reached Warp 10, infinite speed. It was essentially occupying all points in space AT THE SAME TIME. Only downside is is that after reaching such a speed you would evolve at a rapid rate until you were a lizard.
We definitely considered that one, if we had an Honorable mentions section, we would have put the Shuttlecraft Cochrane there, it was a qualifier for sure though.
@@GiantFreakinRobot Well I mean you can't get any faster than OCCUPYING ALL POINTS IN SPACE AT THE SAME TIMES. I really think it should have been on the list.
The Heart of Gold whiles not "moving" the fastest has superior way of travelling across the universes indeed. Only enhanced by the Bistromathics computing technique.
@@GiantFreakinRobot Not speed, least path of resistance. For exemple in "The restaurant at the end of the universe" when the groups ask the navigation system to bring them to the closest restaurant it brought them on the same planet billions of years into the futur, because it happened that a restaurants conceived in the intent of assisting to the end of the universe with hors d'oeuvres and wine pairing just because it was relatively the "closest.".
The Yamato (BBY-01) from Space Battleship Yamato. Used Wave Motion Tech to fly in space. Same tech powers it's big wave Motion Cannon, which can obliterate a continent in a single shot.
The fastest ship in Sci-Fi would likely be the SDF-3 from Robotech. It has a hyper fold system similar to Event Horizon, but doesn't pass through Hell. According to sources, it has no range limit (the KF- Drives of Battletech as similar but have a 30ly per jump limit and take about a week to recharge) This means that the SDF-3 can instantly jump anywhere in the universe. Which is about as fast as measurable.
Don’t forget about the Battlestar Galactica! Its jump drive is essentially instantaneous. I feel like this is at least on par with Discovery or the Event Horizon.
@@GiantFreakinRobot Yes, but the whole point of your video is to say which one can get the most mileage for its speed, _not_ how long it takes to actually get there.
Also, in the vein of the _Galactica_ with her instant-but-short-range jumps, I would also offer-up the hyperspace window technology utilized in the _Homeworld_ saga of video games. Their starships also take time to recharge after a jump, and require precise calculations beforehand, but the travel time across light-years is mere minutes (i.e. the speed of cut-scenes).
My favorite SF ship is the Far Star, from Asimov's Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth. It has a bleeding-edge gravitic drive for normal-space propulsion, a powerful navigational computer for unbelievably rapid hyperspace jump calculations, and its controlled via a direct brain-link through placing your hands on its control panel. Also the sleekest ship the characters in the story had ever seen.
I'm currently watching the TV show which has been friggin awesome but they're not making it fast enough damn it. I read the first book but never got around to the rest. So now I got finish the TV show and then I'll read the books as I know they'll be better, but at the same time I don't wanna spoil the show lol.
So many of my favorite ships in this list. Tardis, Heart of Gold, Spacing Guild ships. My other favorites are Battlestar Galactica, Red Dwarf & Starbug, Babylon 5 & White star ships and can't forget USS Normandy.
Asgard ships from Stargate are so fast, that they can travel between galaxies in a matter of hours or days. And the modified Starfleet shuttle Cochrane was able to fly at infinite speed, but the disadvantage was that after such a flight, the passengers begin to evolve extremely quickly into a future species.
Battletech's KF drives are both extremely fast and not. Jumping similar to the Event horizon and the Dune ships, almost instantly up to 30 ly, and then having to recharge the drive for an extended time(a week-ish). But the setting canon includes experimental testing going much further, and accidentally doing things not meant to. And in the Elite 2 game, there was the wonderful and later made semicanon bug that allowed you to jump superlong distances as long as you did so the right way, very inflexible, but being able to jump thousands of ly instead of maybe a dozen at a time was still awesome. And showing off just how amazing it was that a game that took up a single diskette for the Amiga 500, could let you explore an entire galaxy. Literally.
I'm glad Douglas Adams got a mention but alas, even he dreeamed up a faster driver than the infinite improbability drive called the Bistromatic Drive. The Bistromatic Drive moves a ship through space by exploiting the chaotic and unpredictable mathematics of restaurant bills, called Bistromathics. Unlike conventional engines, which rely on fixed rules of physics, the Bistromatic Drive calculates its trajectory using the irrational, illogical behavior of numbers in a dining context, allowing it to traverse vast distances instantaneously. Speed Comparison to the Infinite Improbability Drive: Both drives achieve faster-than-light travel, but the Infinite Improbability Drive does so by making every possible event and location simultaneously probable, allowing it to arrive anywhere in the universe in an entirely random, improbable fashion. The Bistromatic Drive, on the other hand, uses a more targeted but equally bizarre mechanism by applying bistromathic principles to determine its destination. In essence, both drives achieve similar speeds-effectively instantaneous travel-but differ in their methods: the Infinite Improbability Drive relies on randomness and probability, while the Bistromatic Drive harnesses irrational human behaviors embedded in restaurant bill mathematics.
You get points for including LEXX. You lose points for not comparing it to Moira from Farscape. Andromeda Ascendant is nothing special in its universe, all FTL ships there use slipstreams. Even if apparently you limit yourself to movies, you should have mentioned Leonora Christine, the whole point of the Tau Zero novel is speed.
I considered Moya from Farscape, but while she does travel instantly, she can't really travel very far. She moves mostly in short hops. Still, if I were putting a 9th it might be her.
The Protostar needs a special mention at least. 4000 Light Years in less than a minute, can go at least 2 jumps before a cool down of around 10 minutes? That is ridiculously fast. But yeah, the fastest ones are the instant teleport ships.
true, but the heart of gold has infinite speed, the Orville, while it can transport a freaking galaxy, does not have that kind of speed. I love the Orville though.
@@drndn That's because Classic _Star Trek's_ warp drive doesn't cut it compared to others. That I am aware of, there are only two starships that ever crossed that line: -- a single, _specially-refitted,_ experimental shuttlecraft from _Star Trek Voyager_ (from the most unarguably-cringe-inducing episode of the entire series) -- the _V'ger_ entity, from _Star Trek The Motion Picture,_ which would require the ability to sustain Warp Factor 10 (i.e. omnipresence) for _at least_ 200 years, in order to traverse the length of the entire Universe _multiple times._ Now, the audience does not see it move at this speed in _TMP,_ but it is required to be able to not just _cross_ the Universe but to _blanket_ the Universe in its single-mindedness to follow its simplistic directive.
I kinda thought the Starcar from "The Last Starfighter" might be included. They never said what propulsion system it had, but showed it getting from Earth to wherever the Star League is going from blueshift to redshift with no time in between.
I see we decided to ignore the Daedalus from Stargate: Atlantis. With a ZPM powering it it can make it from earth to the Pegasus Irregular Dwarf Galaxy (Which really exists) in four days. That’s three million light years in four days, or 750,000x the speed of light. Way the hell faster than a guild starship, which can only travel within the Milky Way, which is no more than 100,000 LY across. WIthout a ZPM, Daedalus takes 18 days to get to Pegasus, which is still 166,666x the speed of light.
Do we know that guild ships are limited in that way? For them, no matter where they go it is instant. If they can’t go that far it’s the fault of the navigator not the ship
@@GiantFreakinRobot all of the Dune saga takes place squarely inside the Milky Way Galaxy. None of the ships that leave in the scattering leave the galaxy either. It’s possible I suppose that a guild ship could leave the galaxy in the same way you could hypothetically cross the pacific ocean in a little catamaran, but nobody’s ever gonna do that, so the practical limitation is just the milky way.
@@GiantFreakinRobot A quote from the Dune Encyclopedia pp.418-419: "The fastest known heighliner transit was made in 12717, from Ix to Aiglon, 8138 light-standard-years, in nineteen days, two hours, twenty-one minutes, forty seconds - a "speed" of about 63.4 l.s.y. per hour. Most heighliners achieved a performance no better than sixty percent of that during normal operation." - this is still very fast but not instantaneous.
I dont know if i would classify the tardis as a ship. Its more akin to a device. I would have included the sdf-1 Macross on this list. Other than that ypu did a great job selecting these entries. Its obvious why the enterprise B or Milenium Falcon werent included.
The fastest way to travel through the universe faster than light is on the astral plane. Also the Akashic wavelength to travel through time. It’s very hard to travel through space at light speed because photons carry mass. Also the speed of light seems fast at 7 times around the earth a second but on a galactic scale it’s slower than a snail with asthma or a tortoise with COPD. The nearest star is 30 000. billion miles away.
You forgot about the _V'ger_ entity, from _Star Trek The Motion Picture_ (1979), which would require the ability to _sustain_ Warp Factor 10 (i.e. "omnipresence") for _at least_ 200 years, in order to traverse the length of the entire Universe _multiple times._ ...The damn thing moves at the speed of _God Himself_ to be able to accomplish this! Now, the audience does not see _V'ger_ move at this speed in _TMP,_ but it is required to be able to not just _cross_ the Universe but _blanket_ the Universe in its single-mindedness to follow its simplistic directive.
The Andromeda Ascendant can travel between galaxies, and regularly does so. That series is kind of the far future of Star Trek. The slipstream and the sporedrive of Discovery are basically the same, both requiring an individual to interphase with it and navigate intuitively. Discovery simply adds what powers this drive. Both shows are the brainchild of Roddenberry, and I still prefer Andromeda over Discovery every time.
Discovery can only travel within the galaxy, not the universe. The last ships of Stargate Atlantis could travel to the Pegasus galaxy iny3 weeks. I'm not sure how far any of the others went, but that is very far in 3 weeks
it`s just my opinion, and maybe some others too, but the USS Discovery has to be the dumbest propulsion system ever thought up in Star Trek. it`s so idiotic that I have come to call it The USS Pizzacutter ! I mean , come on guys, Fungus as a propulsion system , REALLY?
Millenium Falcon. OK, this was Lucas backpedaling, but MF calculated multiple small jumps to make a trip, but what her 3 droid brains were able to do was calculate the least number of jumps to get there. Better than anyone else's nav A I. Hence Kessel run in parsecs not days/hours. Moya vs Lexx???? Yay, my LEXX box set just showed up.
Forget science fiction. There's a real life theory that there's only 1 electron that, a bit like the heart of gold is everywhere in every atom all at once......It hitches a ride on a cat in a box 😉😂

Admit it you only watched Lex because of that blond chick. 🤣Personally, i never liked the design of the ship as a kid same goes for Andromeda. Babylon 5 did a better job designing different species ships and stations imho.
Huh? Why? I mean, I love it, which is why it's in the intro... but it's not even close to as fast as any of the ships on this list. It moves at about the same speed as Warp Drive in Star Trek. Which is of course really fast, but the ships on this list basically travel instantaneously.

Star Wars ships don't really move that fast, compared to other universes. Hyperspace isn't instant. It's faster than Warp Drive but not faster than any of the methods on this list.
😂 Lex has "organic propulsion" aka farts through spaces. When you can get there the day, week, century before you should then how is the TARDIS not number one? haha.
What about plaid drive (spaceballs?) And Diet Smith's magnetic space coupee' from Dick Tracy fame. Missed them didn't you? And the fourth of July sparkler drive of Flash Gordon and the elder Buck Rogers? With the Roman candle ray guns😉
I think ludicrous speed deserves at least an honorable mention.

@@GiantFreakinRobot Yes, but the whole point of your video is to say which one can get the most mileage for its speed, _not_ how long it takes to actually get there.

OK, this was Lucas backpedaling, but MF calculated multiple small jumps to make a trip, but what her 3 droid brains were able to do was calculate the least number of jumps to get there. Better than anyone else's nav A I. Hence Kessel run in parsecs not days/hours. Moya vs Lexx???? Yay, my LEXX box set just showed up.
you have a LEXX box set!!!! thats awesome!!!!! Also millennium falcon is a classic my friend good choice.
Moya from Farscape.
Forget science fiction. There's a real life theory that there's only 1 electron that, a bit like the heart of gold is everywhere in every atom all at once......It hitches a ride on a cat in a box 😉😂
I honestly want to hear more about this theory because it sounds really interesting.
@@GiantFreakinRobot Here ya go Mr Robot. The one electron universe theory. ⚛ YT doesn't seem to like links and keeps deleting them (but at least it's not deleting all my comments today🤷♂🙄) so anyway, just search "The one electron universe" and you'll find it. There's a few vids out there but the PBS space time vid is probably the best of em. 👍

Admit it you only watched Lex because of that blond chick. 🤣Personally, i never liked the design of the ship as a kid same goes for Andromeda. Babylon 5 did a better job designing different species ships and stations imho.
What about the redhead???
@@GiantFreakinRobot I was warned early about redheads 😅
Thunderbird 5. Or fireball xl5. I fly around the universe in fireball xl5. 😂😂
I would recommend the BBC TV series Hitch hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Much better than the film imo.
FYI this video gives zero speeds, its just a list
Star trek discovery is no longer canon lol
The Orville should be up there
Agreed.
Huh? Why? I mean, I love it, which is why it's in the intro... but it's not even close to as fast as any of the ships on this list. It moves at about the same speed as Warp Drive in Star Trek. Which is of course really fast, but the ships on this list basically travel instantaneously.
17 ly per hour
Watch Pria episode @@GiantFreakinRobot
No mention of E E Doc Smith?
Where's Moya?

Hey mate, here's the link for the one electron universe theory I mentioned the other day. 🎅

Thanks for the video. No honourable mention for the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy?
Star Wars ships don't really move that fast, compared to other universes. Hyperspace isn't instant. It's faster than Warp Drive but not faster than any of the methods on this list.
😂 Lex has "organic propulsion" aka farts through spaces.
When you can get there the day, week, century before you should then how is the TARDIS not number one? haha.
So you chose a bunch of awkward sci-fi craft.
What about plaid drive (spaceballs?) And Diet Smith's magnetic space coupee' from Dick Tracy fame. Missed them didn't you? And the fourth of July sparkler drive of Flash Gordon and the elder Buck Rogers? With the Roman candle ray guns😉
yeah, I forgot about it (don't beat me up for it). I should have put the spacebars reference. "They've gone to plaid"
UNSC Infinity.
