Who is good at math ?
How long would it take to get to Proxima Centauri traveling at 100 billion K P H ?
No light year answers please . Years months, hours .

If you assume absolute time, then about 12 days.
If you assume relativity, you can't travel at those speeds.

Re: Who is good at math ?
Hey paladin17 , thanks for responding .
I am not assuming relativity .
I am writing a fictional story about pirates in space and the universe in my story doesn't have relativity so my ships can go really fast .
My to good guys are following an impulse wake from what they think might be the bad guys ship , and at a certain point it turns into a wake from an engine capable of 100 billion K P H speeds .
No warp no worm holes no subspace just impulse .
The bad guys are headed for a nebula that is roughly the distance that Proxima Centauri is from Earth
(40.14 trillion km ).
I want to put an ETA in the story that is accurate .
In this story speed and distance is not measured in light years.
The idea of relativity is never thought up and scientific research and development has taken a different path .
Thank you so much for doing the math for me I appreciate it.

If it's 40.14 trillion km, then the exact time would be 400 hours (16.7 days).MaxGain wrote:Hey paladin17 , thanks for responding .

Either I sucked previously, or you gave a wrong estimate. Anyways, it's about the same.

Re: Who is good at math ?
Sorry about that , the question assumed that you knew this number 40.14 trillion km .
Thanks for the revision .
I appreciate it .
