I just attached this link to the ‘who is your favourite scientist’ question too as Brian Cox is one of my favourite popular scientists and explains things really well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_%28physicist%29
How many years would it take to get to the nearest planet? About 4 years if travelling at the speed of light, but about 40,000 years if travelling at speeds we’ve been able to reach so far. Don’t go booking a holiday there, that’s my advice!
