What If You Just Keep Going?



I have a question… what if I just kept going away from Earth?

Imagine you fly off at the speed of light. After 8.3 minutes, you’d reach our Sun. After 4 hours and 6 minutes, you’d pass the furthest planet in our solar system.

How long do you think it takes you at the speed of light to get to the farthest object humans have ever sent? Subscribe if you think less than 24 hours.

But at 4 years in, just as you’re passing our nearest star… something weird happens…

  1. Fun fact, if you were going the speed of light you wouldn't experience time and could go to the edge of the known universe instantly from your perspective, but from an observers on earth perspective yeah it would take a bit

  2. It really feels like we've been enclosed so that no one would enter our small section in the galaxy 😂. Even traveling at the speed of light, space travel is still unfeasable unless we travel for generations. It would really take the biggest break through in Astrophysics to achieve actual space travel. I wonder a civilization that have existed and developed technology, say our current knowledge in science was done over a million years ago in that civilization, have they been able to develop space travel technology.
