Answer #1:
A long time.......
=====================
Answer #2:
Classically, it would take
(the diameter of the universe, in miles)/(5,878,464,424,000) years.
Probably FOREVER!
The universe is about 90 billion light years across. An eon is about 550 million years. Flying at the speed of light for 550 million years you would travel 550 million light years, less than 1% of the distance across the known universe. So, probably not. It would make no difference how long you travel at light speed. If you travel for a billion trillion eons, you would still not pass through the boundries of the universe. For one thing, you would have a serious problem timing your journey, since for you a trip of any length would seem instantaneous.
Red light, in the region of 650 to 700 nm, travels further than blue.
It would take 100000 years.
The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter, which is equivalent to roughly 558 sextillion miles. However, it is important to note that the universe may extend beyond the observable limits.
It is a simpler way of measuring very long distances, which is what we have in the Universe.
The observable universe is about 29 gigaparsecs across. You'll have to convert to miles yourself.
It takes about 997.186 seconds for light to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit.
If it didn't everything in the universe would have gone flying apart long ago and there would be no universe!
Light travels 186,300 miles per second
A test to find how long it would take to send a 100 ton space ship at the speed of light, to the very end of the universe. 1) An object at the speed of light has infinite mass and would require infinite fuel. At present both of these are impossible to test. 2) The end of the universe changes frequently, by the time the ship reached the end, the end would be further away, and the universe also grows at varying speeds.
The Universe is approximately 14.6 billion light years across (radius), which gives a total of around 30 billion light years from edge to edge. The Universe came to exIstence 14.6 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. The expansion process occured very rapidly and exponentially, resulting in expansion close to the speed of light, 3 * 10^8 meters per second. Therefore, the edge of the Universe, from the center, would be around 14.6 billion light years away, theoretically. It turns out that these theoretical calculations are accurate, as astronomers have recently detected the light from stars around 14 billion light years away. As the Universe ages, it will expand even more quickly due to the effects of dark energy.
