>>97218356"far faster then the speed of light" and "100,000,000 quadrillion times the speed of light" are different things.
The closest galaxy from the Milkyway is 25,000 light years away. at the speed of light, it would take 25,000 years to travel. the CLOSEST.
25,000 x the speed of light to travel it in 1 year.
912,500x the speed of light to travel it in 1 day.
219,000,000x the speed of light to travel it in 1 hour.
Then there is of course time dilation..
The milky way itself is 100,000 light years wide.
Then, beyond speed, you are missing the big issue.
Number of civilizations.
Drake equation estimates 1000 and 100,000,000 civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.
3600 space cops would be strained beyond belief policing 100,000,000 civilizations in the milkyway alone.
Hell, they would be strained policing 1000 CIVILIZATIONS.
The observable universe has 200 BILLION, to 2 trillion GALAXIES.
min, of 1000 civilizatioins, in 200 billion galaxies, for 2 trillion civilizations, /3600 glc,=555,555,555 civilizations per Lantern.
the 100 million civilizations per galaxy with 2 trillion galaxies... not even going to do, because scientific notation would be needed to write it...
