The speed at which you travel has a direct bearing on the time required.
Ignoring relativistic effects, estimates of the solution may be derived by direct application of the Newtonian laws
of motion, somewhat as follows, to wit:
Speed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Time required to travel 4 light-hours
c (light speed) . . . . . . . . . 4 hours
0.001c (300,000 m/s). . . . 40 hours
0.000001c (300 m/s) . . . . 400 hours
60 mph. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5,100 years
That depends on the speed at which one is traveling.
You would travel northeast.
900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light. If you travel at any slower speed, it will take longer of course. But do some reading on time dilation - if the traveller travels at a speed very near the speed of light, from his point of view it will take much less time.900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light.

You would be traveling northwest.
As with any other "how long does it take" question, that would depend on the speed. At the speed of light (which we CAN NOT even approach with current technology) it would take 100 years. At slower speeds, it would obviously take much longer.
No such thing would happen. Matter cannot reach the speed of light, only massless things can (and they cannot travel at any other speed than the speed of light).
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.
Traveling 39 light years would take 39 years at the speed of light.
Traveling 40 light years would take 40 years at the speed of light.
Traveling 40 light years would take 40 years at the speed of light.

Light cannot travel faster than the speed of light, so a bulb traveling at the speed of light is not possible in the laws of physics as we know them. If it were somehow possible, the bulb may emit light, but we cannot definitively predict what would happen under such extreme conditions.
The speed of light is constant. It is 671,000,000 mph.
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).
probably not... at least not with our current technology traveling at the speed of light could also cause problems, everyone would be creating sonic booms....
Nothing with a rest mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, it would take an infinite amount of energy. Light can travel at that speed because it has zero rest mass. Earlier Answer below So far, we don't know if a human can travel at lightspeed. However, it's easier to travel at the speed of light than to travel through time. New Answer: The problem I always had with the term light speed is that speed is relative. We may be traveling close to the speed of light right now in relation to some other object in the universe.
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.
