Traveling from New York to Los Angeles at the speed of light would take 13 milliseconds. A nonstop flight on a jet would take about 5 hours 40 minutes.

Will you move into another galaxy?

Not in the near future. Other galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years away; travelling at the speed of light, it would thus take millions of years to travel to most galaxies; travelling at a lower speed would, of course, take longer.Not in the near future.

What was Albert Einstein's amazing idea about the speed of light?

That, no matter who measured the speed of a beam of light, the result would be the same. In other words, someone travelling at 99% the speed of light would measure the same speed as someone standing still (all realtive to the light source).


How many years would it take a spacecraft in travelling at the speed of light to cross your galaxy?

a long time


What would you see if you were on a train travelling at 2 3rds the speed of light and looked out the window whilst a train travelling at the same speed was going in the opposite direction?

You would see the other traing going by you at nearly the speed of light. This may seem counter-intuitive, but that's what happens. The speed of light is an immutable constant that does not care about your frame of reference. In the braydeon domain, nothing moves faster than the speed of light, regardless of frame of reference.


Can you come out of a galaxy?

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.


Would Black Holes be accessible for vehicles travelling at near light speed?

I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean. "Accessible" how?You can go into a black hole. You don't need "a vehicle travelling at near light speed" to do so (of course, if you're on Earth now and want to get to a black hole before you die, such a vehicle would probably be required, since all the ones we know about are at least tens of thousands of years away at any speed any Earth-built spacecraft has ever reached).You can't come out again. Period. Not in a vehicle travelling at "near light speed", not in a vehicle travelling AT light speed. The escape velocity for a black hole exceeds the speed of light in a vacuum.


How fast would you have to travel in order to reach a star that is 50 light years away from Earth when you are 40 years older than you were when you left earth?

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).


If a car was travelling in space faster than the speed of light with its lights on would it still be able to see ahead?

You cannot even travel at the speed of light. So forget about going faster.


How long does it take light to travel a distance of 2700 light years?

Well, it takes 2,700 years for light to travel that far. Anything travelling at half light-speed would take 5,400 years. At 1/4 light-speed, it would take 10,800 years.
