The distances won't change significantly. Four light years +/- another million miles, is not going to affect things as far as we are concerned.

Correct.

 

[motorbiking]

Only out by a factor of 5 million

...and then when we've raced to complete a third of the journey, 20'000 years in, the pesky star begins moving away again. Lol.

Dream on boyo.

Still correct.

no it really doesn’t.

Still correct.

To the nearest 5 trillion miles. or based on your maths the nearest 25,000 years.

 

[noseall]

no it really doesn’t.

Yes it really does. Did you think it was going to keep moving closer to earth?

Check your maths. You are out by 10,000 years.

 

[noseall]

Nonsense.

It depends when we set out. If in 6000 years time we begin the journey, by the time we have completed the first 20'000 years (about a third of the distance), the star begins moving away again.
I suppose if we can shave a million miles off the journey, it'll reduce the journey by a couple of days at least.

If we start tomorrow (unlikely) we may be able to save 2000 years. Every little helps (not).

I think as of today the chances of this massive space travel are virtually zero. However a few hundred years ago you'd have been burnt as a witch for playing snake on your 3330 Nokia. Very, very unlikely to my tiny mind now but who knows what the future brings?

I loved that game!!!!

So in 6000 years it’s going to take 60,000 years to travel 4 light years.

 

[noseall]

or based on your maths the nearest 25,000 years.

If it takes 70'000 years to travel four light years, (using the same maths) it will take 52'500 years to travel three light years. Then you have to bear in mind that the star will be moving away from the Earth for much of the latter two thirds of the journey.

It is?

But it’s doesn’t and it won’t.

 

[Highway Man]

It's just a jump to the left and the then a step to the right

how do you know we wont live for 70,000 years in the future. Look at us now. Plenty of 100 year olds as the norm nowadays
