thats why i decided to post it here
so i was taking a bath for 3 hours without any gadget and made some calculations in my mind:
if we imagine that the distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1 mm (yes, 0.001 meter)
then, with such proportions, 1 light year (10 trillion km) will be 60 meters
and the distance to the nearest star (Proxima or Alpha Centauri) will be 240 meters!
and if we'd decide to make a trip there with our current technologies - even, if suppose, the average speed would be 50 000 km per hour -
we would get there in 80 000 years.
just wanted to share this info
