Outer space

I need help with this questions

If you travel 7 trillion mph, how long will it take to get to the next galaxy?

Please show the math, thank you =]

Answer #1

well if your going that fast you will “time travel” so you could get there yesterday or in 800 years

Answer #2

lol…basically it would take a couple of hours but you would arrive several years ago. Wrap your brain around THAT one.

Answer #3

first you cannot travel 7 trillion mph , the top speed able to achieve in this universe is the speed of light (299 792 458 m / s [meters per second] or 670 616 700 mph).
The closest spiral galaxy to our own, Andromeda is 2.5 million light-years from Earth. A light year is an unit of distance, the distance a particle of light travels in a year _ 1 light year = 9.4605284 x 10 to the power of 15 [meters]. the way you formulated this question I fear you wouldnt understand the math and method behind this result unless you have a college degree in maths (which you dont, because you could calculate this ‘’simple’’ equation yourself).

Answer #4

Light travels 6 trillion miles in one year. The nearest galaxy is 2.9 million light years away. it would take you 2.9 million years to get to the nearest galaxy traveling at the speed of light. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so your question is flawed because nothing can travel at 7 trillion miles per hour. sorry, your question is incorrect. Light travels 670 million miles per hour. That is the fastest you can travel in the universe. 7 trillion miles per hour is imagination.
