Warp factor 1 is the speed of light. Accelerating safely to the speed of light at a constant 1G acceleration would take 354 days. After that, you would arrive instantaneously no matter where or how far since time stops for you once you reach the speed of light.

I wish the script writers had been more self-consistent.

100 ly in 7.13 days would’ve had them home in 13.6 years even without shenanigans. (The warp speed graph I saw suggested more like 7 years, which is even worse for the fundamental plot contrivance of the show).

How long would it have taken to warp to the Gamma Quadrant wormhole I wonder?

I might be able to best that, if Skippy would reprogram a wormhole in the neighborhood.

That may not work. I think the wormhole controller AIs are getting pretty tired of his antics by now.

see you there!
