    You'd have travelled one light year's worth of miles.

    Google sayeth one light year = 5.87849981 × 10^12 miles

    speed of light = 700 million miles an hour.

    hours in a year = 16425.

    answer = 11,497,500,000,000

    gordon bennet! these figures are already doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!!

    right ...lets try a different one.
    our galaxy the milky way ...is 100,000 light years across and we are basicaly on the edge of it so ...at a million miles an hour ...how far would we have got across it if we had started travelling 6,000 years ago?

    6 or 600?

    6 - 52,560,000,000 - 0.5 billion

    600 - 5,256,000,000,000 = 5.25 billion.

    Unless you have a means of acheiving infinite acceleration or decreasing your mass to zero, you can't travel at the speed of light.
