Why is Vulcans sky red?

As perceived from the surface, Vulcan is a desert planet with an intensely red sky. The sky may appear red for two reasons. The first possibility is that the long-wave portion of visible light coming from the Vulcan sun is predominant; in other words, the sun itself is red.

What is the oldest dwarf planet?

PSR B1620-26 AB
The planet is one of the oldest known extrasolar planets, believed to be about 12.7 billion years old.
PSR B1620−26 b.

Can humans live like Vulcans?

A Vulcan lifestyle may not be perfectly suited for a human, and your emotional needs may be different. If you find that your needs are not being met, work on meeting them, even if it involves doing things (like hugging people or crying) that Vulcans typically do not do.

Why are Vulcans so strong?

Vulcans don’t have a very threatening demeanour, but they are much stronger than they appear. They are, on average, three times stronger than humans. This is likely due to the environment they evolved in, a harsh desert world filled with large predatory animals. It’s also probably a remnant of their violent past.

How old can a Vulcan live?

I’ve always wondered how vulcans age. I thought that they didn’t live much longer than humans, because Spock ages to look 60 in the first 100 years of his life, but maybe that’s because he’s half-human. It’s already established that vulcans can live to be over 200 years of age.

Is a Vulcan stronger than a Klingon?

Vulcans are far stronger than Klingons. Klingons are actually pretty wimpy, esp. in the original series (the only series, as far as I’m concerned). Vulcans are also a lot stronger than humans, as a number of human/Vulcan encounters in the show clearly demonstrate.

The speed of light in a vacuum is about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). In “Star Trek,” a warp factor of 1 is light speed, and a warp factor of 9.9 is more than 2,000 times greater than light speed.

Will humans ever reach warp speed?

Achieving Warp Speed
The conclusion of the study was, predictably, traveling at or near the speed of light–or even creating warp-drive-like conditions in a strictly scientific setting–is nowhere near possible. The theory behind warp drive is actually far crazier than simply propelling an object at the speed of light.
