See into the past, 2 billion years after the big bang.
Just for your personal reference (in case you may have forgotten):
Astronautical Unit (the distance from the earth to the sun, or half of our elliptical orbit around the sun): 93 million miles.
Light Year: 63,000 AU (32 Light Years = 1 parsec)
Speed of Light Traveling In A Vacuum: 186,282 miles a second
Now let's look at some LARGE NUMBERS:
Billion (10 to the 9th power, so 9 zeros): 1,000,000,000
Trillion (10 the 12th power, so 12 zeros): 1,000,000,000,000
Quadrillion (15 zeros)
Quintillion (18 zeros)
OK... now let's begin:
11,000,000,000 light years is equal to 693,000,000,000,000 (693 TRILLION) astronautical units...
Which, in turn, is equal to 6.3756 (22 zeros) 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (or sextillion) miles...
Which means that, if you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take you 342,255,290 seconds to travel that distance, which is equal to something like 10,000 years (and that number seems impossibly low because the light we're looking at is only 2 billion years after the big bang and had to take a lot longer than only 10,000 years to get here, but who cares? We're never getting THERE).
