"how old am i in light years?" THE ANSWER REVEALED
There are 4 main forces affecting my movement in the universe, like the earth's rotation, the orbit of earth along the sun, and amount our solar system moves throughout the galaxy:
Our solar system moves 450,000 miles per hour
Hours in a year 8760 * 450,000 = 3.942 billion mi
Solar system movement in a year: 3.942 billion mi/year

Circumference of Earth = 24,901 mi rotation per day
29401 * 365 = 10,731,365
Earth rotations amount in a year: 10 million mi/year

Distance Earth Travels Around Sun in a Year= 92.96 million mi
92.96 million mi * 17 yeer = 1.58 billion mi
Distance earth travels around sun in a year: 1.58 billion mi/year

Now add them up: 5.082 billion mi/year
This is the total distance your body covers on Earth a year, but you do not feel because of constant movement we have felt from it, thanks gravity.

5.082 * 18 = 91.476 billion to light years = ~0.0155 light years.

This is how much movement I have went through my entire lifetime approximately.

But WAIT! There's a fourth force still? You said four main forces... That's the flaw in this, the theory that our universe is constantly expanding. We don't know for sure how much per year our earth experiences from that though, so even if this is what we've traveled, we don't know why other stars are constantly getting further from us. Are we just spreading from a galaxy, or is some sort of alternate force pulling all the stars apart?

Am I just really bored? Yes.

Light years is measured in distance, not time.

Iirc light travels 300km per second in space, count how many seconds there are in a year, multiple that with 300k and then multiply that with your age.

Might be wrong math or not, im tired

You're not light so you don't count. You're left out light years.

Try Googling "How fast am I moving in my chair right now?". You might find that interesting?

1.3 million miles per hour (2.1 million kilometers for the imperial system users).
