Long journey

How long would it take to travel from one end of the visible Universe to the other end, if you were travelling at the different speeds ???


Ans:

  



1. speed = 1 Ly/sec

\text{Distance from one edge to the other}= 93*10^9Ly

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Time = \frac{93*10^9}{1} = 93*10^9seconds = 1.55*10^9min = 25.83*10^6hours
 

=1.076*10^6days = 2948.63years
 

Now:

2.speed = 1parcsec/sec

\text{distance from one edge to other}= 28*10^9parcsec

Time = \frac{28*10^9}{1} = 28*10^9sec = 4.66*10^8min = 7.77*10^6hours = 3.2*10^5days

= 876.712years
