"Bolton Wanderers are the top team for scoring goals after full time in the first league table. " Its also believed they may have scored the first ever goal in league football because they decided to have a 2pm kick off instead of 3.30pm that had been agreed. But Bolton ended on the losing side that day 6 - 3 v Derby. | |||

"Beings living in the galaxy NGC 2775 (which is about 67 million light years away) would - if they had a powerful enough telescope - be able to see dinosaurs roaming the Earth right now. Beings living in the galaxy NGC 3972 (about 65 million light years away) would today (plus or minus a few thousand years) be able to see the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs actually hitting the Earth." My head hurts with things like this! Incredible. | |||

In any case, that speed is incorrect. To travel 67 million light years in one day you would only (!) need to achieve a speed of: 775 light years per second, which equates to: 7.34 quadrillion kilometres per second, or: 7,340,000,000,000,000 km/s Unfortunately current thinking does not allow an object to exceed the speed of light, so we'd be stuck with a journey time of at least 67 million years. | |||
