You are traveling at the speed of light from location A to location B, say two cities 1,000 miles apart in the same time zone. If you left location A at 5 PM, what time would it be when you arrived in location B?

5:00 1/186000 sec.

Mind you, you’d arrive as meat paste. That is a vicious acceleration.

Why the fraction? Should have noted, your traveling at the speed of light from A to B. Constant speed, no stopping/accelerating.
