I’ve been watching space science videos much more in recent months and my mind has been blown by just how vast space is. When light is depicted as crawling at a snail’s pace, you know you’re talking about vast distances.

Here is a mind blower:

Assume, if you travel at the speed of light, that, from your perspective, you arrive at your destination at exactly the moment you left your starting point (ignoring any accelleration or deceleration times).

This means that whether you are travelling a thousand miles or a million light years, you would be in both places at the same time.

Now imagine that you can travel in huge circles, arcs or figure 8’s, etc. It means you would be everywhere in the universe at once.
