Voyager 1 has traveled 14.5 billion miles in 45 years and is still going. One light year is approximately 5.8 trillion miles. Our universe is rad

You should watch that documentary The Farthest. All about voyager. It’s mind blowing. So good.

5.8 trillion/14.5 billion = 400
400 x 45 = 18,000

18,000 years

We’re never getting out of the solar system to explore other places. :/

We could if we could develop faster than light, or near fast as light engines. Or even the equipment to withstand that kind of speed. Or the human being that can withstand that kind of speed.

So yeah, we ain't leaving.

There are no G forces in space though. You could be travelling almost speed of light with no stress to body or ship.

This is, uh, not true. There are G forces in space when you're accelerating, so you've got to build up to the speed of light at an acceleration the human body can handle. Then, of course, when you're halfway there, you have start to decelerate at a similar rate. Otherwise, you're goo.

Of course, yes, it's true that once you reach c, you could stop accelerating and travel at that speed until you slow down. And once you stop accelerating you would be in microgravity and feel basically weightless. You'd probably crash into a bunch of micro-asteroids and die first, but, sure, it's theoretically possible.

how long until it goes 5.8 trillion miles?
X=5.8 trillion miles
Y=1 light year (approx)

X=Y aka it will take one light year to go 5.8 trillion miles
Am I an idiot? I was just trying to make a lol
