1.47 Micro-Seconds...

[2 of 10]

In the ep "Year of Hell" when Seven discovers the torpedo she reads it with her tricorder and finds out that the temporial displacement is 1.47 mircoseconds. I was considering that you would probably need a bit more of percise measurement than only to the hundreds of a second. I'm sure that her tricorder could have carried out to 4, 5 or more places to ensure accuracy needed to modulate the new force fields, any thoughts...

Well a microsecond is one millionth of a second.

That seems brief to me.

The smallest measurements of time/space seem to be a plank interval or a jiffy, which are almost synonyms and figures out to be about 5.4 × 10−44 seconds.

A few more than 6 decimal places.

 

[Kai Winn]

we have there star ships zooming around at impluse, that's considerable factions of the light speed, so any of the ships and torpedoes are in temporal displacement. i don't think 1.47 microseconds make a difference. you experience more just flying over the atlantic, and you do not vanish from our time-space continuum, or undo the entire civilization. a great episode, nonetheless.

 

[You_Guyz]

It was a nice little continuity nod in an episode that appeared to throw away all continuity D:

 

[Guy Gardener]

Then again measuring temporal variance isn't measuring time. like how minutes and seconds are used to measure longatude and lattitude on maps, but instead measuring time sideways through unseen dimensions, as to say how out of phase those those torpedoes were with realtime that they were allowed to go straight through Voyagers shields, so maybe 1.47 micro seconds is incredibly accurate?

 

[Kai Winn]

well, voyagers shields were there 1.47 microseconds before, and also after the torpedo hit, that shouldn't be a problem. quite the opposite, if voyager moves around at lightspeed, it travels some .45 km in that time, so the torpedo would rather miss it. it's too late or too early.

 

[Deks]

It's a specific frequency on which the Krenim temporal torpedoes operate.

One of the nicer things about the episode was that the temporal variance in question was exactly the same when Kes was travelling backward through time due to the Chroniton particles she was exposed to in YOH (before leaving the ship).

It would have been nice that her report on the Krenim survived though and someone mentioned this to begin with.
Then again, it's quite possible the report was there right up until Voyager experienced the first temporal inversion which caused the Zaal to be removed from the time line (which also damaged the ship to a moderate degree).

 

[Guy Gardener]

But it couldn't.

You see Anoraks said that he had been altering time for 200 years from his static limbo out of time space time platform weapon... (badly written, poorly thought out, just ride with it...) so what we thought was the beginning of the story in the first minutes of the program was probably the million millionth time distortion of the original history after which kes might have forewarned the crew that the krenim were complete bastards....

In every timeline that played out that Kes's warning "happened" and wasn't misplaced or tucked under as a non event because of altered history, Kathryn knew well enough to play nice or go around anyone called the Krenim. It was only in a timeline where "before and after" never happened or never happened as we saw it that Kathryn didn't know well enough to go around or play nice with the Krenim that year of hell (as we saw it the second time.) could have resulted in Kathy getting frakked to the point that they all died or she invented temporal shields.

If they went around or played nice, she never met Annorax and he'd have rubber banded time to a point of his choosing where Voyager hadn't yet got past his influence.

If they died, even if they met Annorax and died he'd have rubber banded time to a point of his choosing where Voyager hadn't yet got past his influence.

If they got though without getting frakked and continued on their way to the AQ, Annorax'd have rubber banded time to a point of his choosing where Voyager hadn't yet got past his influence.

Only natural selection in a difficult environment would create a strong Janeway. the more difficult the environment, the stronger the Janeway.

It's quite obvious when you think about it, that is, before you start including the changed timeline from ST First Contact.

Perhaps the torpedo was adjusted to 1.27 exactly, and further calculation was not needed.

 

[Guy Gardener]

The Torpedoes would have to have a constant (pership) temporal variance otherwise they couldn't pass freely though their vessels (temporal?) shields... Remember how Lursa and B'Etor fubared Enterprise D?

 

[Akiraprise]

Remember how Lursa and B'Etor fubared Enterprise D?

Don't remind me.
A terrible way to take out the Ent-D. Even without shields the Enterprise should have annihilated that old Bird of Prey in seconds to minutes at most.

One of the many reasons I will never watch that movie again.

 

[Kai Winn]

the 1.74 microseconds are also mentioned in 'before and after'. over in the tng forum is a thread at the top about their top 5 episodes, almost everybody lists 'parallels' amongst the favourites. 'before and after' is a similar story, and at least of the same quality like parallels. not amongst the voyager top 5, though. more evidence how good voyager actually is.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Except that Worf almost vomited when he found his wife Troi... Actually would her name have been Deanna Worf or Deanna Mogh? (it was Lwaxanna's custom to take her husbands names, so I assume it was Dee's too.)but since that entire episode was sidelined as a redundant nonhappening by Annorax (before Anorax redundantly nonhappened himself brining before and After Back to relivance if not for the borg fiddling with stuff in First Contact.) it doesn't mean that those events may or may not have artifically propelled her towards Tom paris as her perfect mate.

Hmm?

Jadzia and Dax were two people, both of whom married Worf, which would have made "their full name JadziaMartokDaxMartok or JadziaMartokMartokDax.

Oh, bother.
