But they are so far apart and move on roughly the same trajectory that it shouldn't really matter.

- marcellus23 2y agoThat's not true. The tour is 16.2 billion light years long, so even at the speed of light, it would take more than the current age of the universe to travel. Stars will move a lot over that period of time.

- nurettin 2y agoYes I was assuming instant travel, even with one star the trajectory will be nonlinear.
- marcellus23 2y agoThat doesn't make sense to me. If you're assuming instant travel, then of course you don't need to account for stellar drift. Your response talking about stars "moving on roughly the same trajectory" doesn't make sense in that context. And anyway the GP was obviously not talking about instantaneous travel.
