How many normal years will it take to travel 1200 light years?

Answer 1

Traveling this far is not possible with current technology. The time would depend

on the speed at which you travel: time = distance / speed. For example, if you

travel at a speed close to the speed of light, it will take 1200 years - even though

in such a case, for the traveler it would seem to take much less time (read about

"time dilation" for more details).

=========================

Answer #2: (same as Answer #1 with a few more details)

Just like any other trip, to school, the office, or the corner store, the time it takes

depends on the speed you travel at.

For 1,200 light years at . . .

The speed of light . . . 1,200 years

1 million miles per hour . . 804.74 million years

The speed of sound . . . 10.427 million centuries

60 miles per hour . . . . . 215.85 billion centuries (1,600 times how long it has been since the Big Bang)
