Your usual argumentative nonsense. I did NOT say light years, you did.
So it would take forty years from the sending of a message to receive a reply. I think that qualifies as ‘some time’.
(Eight light minutes is 93 million miles.)
Oh dear, I’ve fallen into the trap of trying to have a conversation with you who changes the goal posts (from ‘years’ by me to ‘light years’ by you) and then pretends I did.
Why do you do this all the time? Have you seen a psychiatrist about it?
PS I am not the first on here to question your sanity.

You clearly say they are “millions of years away” so may “take some time to reply”.

Millions of years is not a measurement of any distance - other than light years (which IS a measurement of distance rather than time).

You got it wrong. Suck it up you senile old fart. I’m perfectly sane and say what I mean rather than try to move goal posts when I realise I was mistaken.

I also didn’t say it “would take 40 years”, I mentioned there are more than a dozen stars with planetary systems WITHIN 20 light years.

Our nearest is less than 5 light years away.

Yep, the nearest star with planets is Proxima Centauri which is 4.25 light years away or 25 trillion miles. A spaceship travelling at say 430,000mph which is the fastest that has been achieved to date would take 6,600 years to get there. The response to a radio transmission would take at least 8.5 years.
On the other hand the chances of either of the two Proxima Centauri planets containing intelligent life is pretty close to zero.

Ah, now I know, miles is not a measure of distance but the number of downloads of a rock song. Got it. Are you sure you do not have a psychological need to be right or, at least, for everybody else to be wrong? So much so that you make up silly shit.
How far away is our sun? Most people will say 93 million miles rather than 8 light minutes. But, of course, they are wrong because miles is not a measure of distance. Only you know that, but you are so right, all the rest are just wrong.
Go have a lie down.

25 trillion miles? That’s not a measurement of distance, as SWP can testify.
