How long would it take
Buzz Lightyear to
reach the closest star if
he was traveling half
the speed of light?

effect and why is that the
case

Why does it not make
sense to respond to a
transmission from
another galaxy?
Explain fully
The nearest galaxy
is 100,000 light
years away it took
that long to get here
and if we sent a
message back it
would take that long
to get there.
