I was just rewatching the season 6 episode "Unnatural Selection," and Thor's ship was able to transport both itself and the Prometheus around 1200 light years in roughly 4 seconds. That means in just a single minute, that ship (which is of considerable size) while also burdened with the mass of another ship could travel 18,000 light years, in an hour 1,080,000 light years, in a day 25,920,000 light years. That is simply insane, how could the Asgard, even being as technologically advanced as they are, possibly travel that fast? That is equivalent to traveling 9,460,800,000 times the speed of light... there's no way vessels should be able to travel that fast in a science fiction show, because any conflict could be easily handled in mere seconds. "'Sir, Earth is under attack!' 'Plot a course, Ensign.' 'Sir, we'll be there in... five seconds ago, apparently. The enemy hasn't even had enough time to power up weapons yet.' 'Ok, uh.. destroy them, I guess. Crisis averted, it seems.'"
