M83 is quite a large galaxy, and it's not all at one place, so the length of your trip would depend on what part of M83 you were headed for. As an average, the distance to M83 is given as 15.81 MLy, so at the speed of light, the trip would take you 15,810,000 years. (Better take along a lot of clean underwear and reading material.)
The very fastest human-made spacecraft ever aren't out of this solar system yet, and they were launched in the 70s."Billions of years" is, if anything, an understatement.
The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s. Therefore, 80 percent of the speed of light is 0.8 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.4 x 10^8 m/s. This would be the speed of the electron traveling at 80 percent the speed of light.
That would depend on the medium which the light is traveling through.
You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).
About 100,000 years. (the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years)
Traveling to another galaxy at the speed of light would take an incredibly long time. The closest galaxy to us, the Andromeda galaxy, is about 2.5 million light-years away. This means it would take 2.5 million years to reach Andromeda at the speed of light.
To an outside observer a person traveling at the speed of light would be frozen in time. To the person traveling at the speed of light, things would seem normal.
At the speed of light, it takes millions of years. For example, the Andromeda galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, is about 2.5 million light years away, that is, traveling at light speed it would take 2.5 million years to get there.

Traveling at the speed of light, it would take approximately 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. With current technology, it would take tens of thousands of years to reach Andromeda using conventional spacecraft.
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy, which is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. However, current technology is far from achieving such speeds, making intergalactic travel to Andromeda currently impossible for humans.
Traveling on a beam of light is not possible for objects with mass, as light moves at the fastest speed in the universe and cannot be caught up to. Traveling at the speed of light would also cause time dilation effects, where time would appear to stand still for the traveler.
It would take over 2.5 million years to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy from Earth at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in the universe. No known technology is capable of traveling that fast, so it is currently impossible to make the journey in minutes.
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.

With current technology, that's not possible. At the speed of light, it would take you tens of thousands of years to leave our galaxy. The speed of light seems to be a speed limit in the Universe, and current technology is nowhere near travelling the speed of light.
i would have thought it was conciderably smaller because the space ships crosed it(at light speed) in minutes. if you tryed to cross our galaxy at light speed it would take billions of years.
