Traveling from the Sun to Alpha Centauri 🚀

◼️🪐 What would it look like to travel from the Sun to Alpha Centauri, our nearest star, at unimaginable speeds?

This short visualizes the journey from an observer’s point of view, showing how distance scales with speed:

Light Speed → 4.37 years
50× Light Speed → 32 days
50 000× Light Speed → 46 minutes
17 Million× Light Speed → 7.5 seconds

Note: This is a visual approximation, not a relativistic simulation. As mentioned above, it takes into consideration the observer's point of view, not the traveler's, otherwise time would freeze.
It's impossible for anything with mass to travel at the speed of light, this is an illustrative video only.
