Margaret Super fascinating! ^___^ A team of researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and at the National Astronomical Observatories of Beijing (NAOC) have published a paper which suggests that if we could travel at the speed of light it would take us 200,000 years to cross the disc of our Galaxy. http://www.iac.es/divulgacion.php?op1=16&id=1385&lang=en
Zhaan So even with the speed of light it would take 200,000 years. We’re never leaving this galaxy, are we?
Bubbles We wouldn’t be able to visit anything but the local cluster anyway. The only interesting thing there is the Andromeda galaxy, so why not just wait for Milkdromeda?
