  1. I did the math out of curiosity rounding off some numbers: Distance to Andromeda, 2.5 million light years = 15 trillion miles Average walking speed, 3 miles per hour = 27,000 miles in a year Walking Distance to Andromeda at 3mph = 555,555,500 years Lifetimes to Andromeda, 5,555,555

  2. Insertnamesz / Punocchio Math is definitely not where my strength is. I flunked out of engineering in university because the trig was too confusing :-). My estimate did seem a tad low. One thing though, the rest of the planet really needs to get on the metric system! Would make life so much easier

  3. Tarang Srivastava I'm far from being a math wiz, so I could be wrong. Double check the math and let me know!
