Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

Yes, but it’s fast only by Earth’s standards—and far too slow to reach “into the cosmos” in any length of time that would be meaningful to creatures of such limited longevity as ourselves. Let’s look at the facts again. At the speed of light, it would take radio waves 100,000-150,000 years to cross our galaxy, the Milky Way. It would take about 250,000 years to travel around its circumference, and many thousands to billions of years after leaving the Milky Way to reach other galaxies. Even at the speed of light, exploring the tiniest fraction of the cosmos would still be far beyond man’s reach.
