If you fly at the speed of light you will go around the earth 7.5 times in one second. If we maintain that same speed we can get to the moon in 1.3 seconds, and then we can go all the way to Mars in 4.2 minutes, just enough time to make some noodles and if you are fast a cup of tea.
And if we carry on through the asteroid belt maintaining our speed of 300 000 km per second we will reach the gas giant Jupiter in about 43 minutes, more than enough time to eat noodles drink tea and to play a few games of black jack.
From here it will take us another 86min to get to Saturn, just enough time to watch the movie shrek.
To fly from earth to the end of our solar system past pluto will take 4.5 Hours at the speed of light. That’s enough time to watch fellow ship of the ring and the two towers.
We maintain this speed and it takes us 4 years to get to the closest star. 4 birthdays and 4 Christmas dinners, think of a job or something you have done every day for 4 years to get perspective of your time onboard this space ship.
If we want to fly from the one end of the galaxy to the other end it would take 100 000 years, that means if people on this space ship grow to the age of 100 our flight time will take 1000 generations of people getting born and growing old on board this ship before we reach our destination.
Finally we reach the end of our milky way after 100 000 years of flying at incredible speeds
To get us to the next galaxy we have to fly for 2.5 million years at this speed we have to wait for another 25 thousand generations to come and go before we reach our destination.
Now we will attempt our journey to the edge of the universe which will take 46 billion light years, so we will go through four hundred and sixty million generations of 100 year old people before we get there, at which point we could possibly discover a multiverse.
Astronomers estfimate that the observable universe has more than 100 billion galaxies. Our own Milky Way is home to around 300 billion stars.
There are more stars in our universe than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world and 75% of the stars in our galaxy have planets around them, and many are in the habital zone.
Considering that a teaspoon of sand has more atoms than all the stars in the observable universe just imagine all the spontaneous chemical reactions happening with all the chemicals on all the planets surrounding all the stars and then consider that the building blocks for life such as amino acids and proteins can spontaneously form in certain environments, then one has to consider the possibility that life on other planets is mathematically inevitable.
