TIL with a "Constant acceleration" space ship, at 1G acceleration you could travel the diameter of the milkey way (105,000 Light years) in a short 12 years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_under_constant_acceleration#til #todayilearnedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/16qzngo/til_with_a_constant_acceleration_space_ship_at_1g/

@todayilearned I think they may have their math wrong. Since you are traveling only near the speed of light it would take over 105,000 years ship time to get across and relative to earth it would be millions of years.I think they have their time dilation backwards.
