Woah! 913 years! Exactly right! And that's a minimum time to complete this experiment! That's a long time to wait for experimental results! At this point, you are wondering if maybe there isn't a better way to answer Dr. Greenglow's challenge and claim that job in her lab this semester. You'll be long gone by the time your signal returns, but maybe you could somehow have your great great (great great...) grandchildren finish the project... Time is ticking away, though. You had better hurry up and figure out how to solve this problem before someone else does!
