    Special relativity
    How long it takes a spaceship (proper time) to go to some planet 500 light years away from earth, if it moves with a speed 99.999% of the speed of light?

    I not sure but I think it is 185998.14*2.932848*10^15.
    Hope this helps
    :)

    τ²c²=t²c²-x.x

    x.x=x²+y²+z²=r²

    v=r/t

    τ²=t²(1-v²/c²)=t²(1-β²)

    τ=t(1-β²)^½=t/γ

    t=τγ

    τ=time for spaceship

    t=time for us 500LY

    β(beta)=speed parametr0.99999

    γ(lorentz factor)=1/(1-β²)^½

    τ=500*0.004472125LY
    τ=2.236LY
