It would depend on how fast you are moving. It would take 20 million years IF you could move at the speed of light (which you cannot). The fastest man has ever travelled is 24,000 miles per hour (Apollo moon flight) Light moves at 671,000,000 MPH, or 27,958.3 times faster than man has ever moved. The trip would be in the billions of years.

An outside observer (who isn't moving) would see the trip take 20 years. However, due to the effects of relativity on the person traveling, the traveler would see the trip taking no time at all.

We have to handle that question in such a way as to avoid the fiendish problem

of relativistic time dilation ... meaning that if you travel at the speed of light or

close to it, then nobody will be able to figure out or agree on what "20 minutes"

means.

Let's put it this way: In 20 minutes, light travels 223,538,400 miles.

By definition of the light-year, light travels 1 light-year every year; since a century has 100 years, that would be 100 light-years. If you prefer that in kilometers, you can convert; each light-year is about 9.5 times 10 to the power 12 km.

Really, really far - about 586 trillion miles.

About 30.6 parsecs. "Light-century" is a distance measurement, not a unit of time; it's not clear from the question if you understood that.
