Ok I was guest-a-mating at the expansion rate, I dont think we realy know how fast it is expanding, but the expantion speed does increase as the millennium's roll by.
I'd be satisfied with just going to the other side of our Milkyway. You can see below where we are.
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and about 1,000 light years thick.
It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion, and up to 400 billion stars.
The age of the oldest star in the Galaxy yet discovered is estimated to be about 13.2 billion years old, nearly as old as the Universe itself.
So how could this be.... are we the
genisis of all life?
Where does the Milky Way fall into the life cycle of the entire universe.... ?
Now that's something to ponder over your morning cup of Jo.
