Light speed travel.
I need some help with this.
Story takes place a couple thousand years from now. Someone develops light-speed space travel. How far, in terms of our own galaxy, could a ship travel in about a five hundred years?
I suspect not very far, but I can't get anywhere close to figuring this out. (It's not quite something that can be googled and it's a little... math-y. I'm pretty bad at math.)
Help is appreciated way in advance.
