Just found out our daily lifestyle is called "quarantine"

then my posts here would be far different.
It would take light-years to read all that.
A light-year is a measure of distance... Which equates to the distance light travels in one year...
Approximately 9,460,800,000,000 kilometres!
That's 9.46 billion kilometres.
BTW, the closest star to the sun is Proxima Centauri at a distance of 4.2 light-years.
How long would it take for you to travel to the nearest star if you could travels at TWICE the speed of light?
Well phase velocity of electromagnetic waves can go faster than light, but cannot carry any information. Considering that Swag can be pretty dumb sometimes, it would be possible for him to reach FTL speeds. The problem there is he would arrive before leaving and call himself on the Tachyonic antitelephone and confuse the hell out of himself.
You have been able to circle the entire universe at least, what, five time? If the speed of stupidity is directly proportional to the speed of light, would that make you the fastest being in the known and unknown sub-quantum particle zarkle-quacker?
Hmm... Zarkle-Quacker.... The arch nemesis of the Gargle-Dragon.
I dub thee: Q-Bert. The Zarkle-Quacker.
But Zarkles have already been invented.
Although I expected to catch Swag with that one.
But it was a good way to set up my question.
And 2.1 years.
I take it that everyone agrees with your answer. Hmmm.... Should have made this question multiple choice or perhaps... Turned it into a poll.
Last chance to post your answers today HoC. No need for advanced Physics!
Depending if it's a trick question or not.
*Ahem*.... is that your final answer?
LOL

Answer... less than 4 minutes.
I was thinking of solar flares, but even got that wrong.
