How long would it take to go 587 quadrillion miles at 100 times the speed of light?

Answer 1

(587 x 10^15 miles) / (100 x 186,282.397 miles per second) = 3.15113 x 10^10 seconds

That's something like

• 525.2 million minutes
• 8.753 million hours
• 364,714 days
• 998.6 years

Answer 2

The question does not have any sensible answer. It would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object to the speed of light [in vacuum]. Unfortunately, there is not an infinite amount of energy. It is not possible for any normal matter to travel faster than the speed of light.

Second, at speeds approaching the speed of light, relativity causes time-dilation to kick in. As a result the time required on the observer's frame of reference.

However, ignoring all this reality, if you could travel at 100*c, and there were no relativistic effects, it would take 8,766,428 hours = approx 1000 years.
