About as possible as most star trek fans chances of shagging the **** out of 7 of 9.

 

mmmmmmm tight lycra.......

Well, it's not really a 'speed' per se.

 

The warp field supposedly has two functions - distort space (compressing it ahead of the ship and expanding it behind), and create a barrier that excludes relativistic effects.

 

It's a safe bet that we are a lot further than 300 short years from that kind of technology, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

and when you think about it they should age when ever they go to light speed?

That's where the "barrier to exclude relativistic effects" bit comes in ;)

 

Incidentally the stardate system was adopted to allow ships travelling at different sub-warp speeds to stay synchronised with all the different panets in the federation, which obviously have different rotational and orbital periods.
