    form drag is proportional to:

    • The denisty of the medium.
    • The velocity of the moving body (squared).

    Interstellar space might be very undense, peaking at about 10^-15 kg/m^3…

    However the enterprise E is very fast, with warp 9.9 being approx 20,000 c or 6 * 10^13 m/s, and that matters twice as much

    This puts the overall cosmodymanic forces at Cd * 3.6 * 10^12 N/m^2 or approximately the same as experienced by a Sandworm going mach 30.

    So sure why not, Einstein and Newton are dead so can’t complain, and I’m pretty sure I could beat up Bill Nye.

      I have no grounds to question anything that you said, but all I can imagine is this image.
