one light year

 

-          distance by light in a year

-          poetic synthesis of time and space: that of time and distance

-          characterized by the brightness of light, cutting through the dark of space, through a period of time significant enough for people to name it

-          equals 365-and-a-quarter times 24 times 60 times 60 times the speed of light

-          which is 1.04 x 1010  metres

-          or 10,414,008 km

-          a car travelling at 60 km/h would take 173566.8 hrs to travel that. or 7231.95 days. or 19.8 years

-          a person walking at 5 km/h would take 237.6 years. without rest.

-          that’s damn long distance to walk

-          and a damn long time too

-          that’s about the distance I am from her heart.
