Says the protons reach 0.999999991 times the speed of light.

The milky way is about 9.5x1020 meters in diameter.

So the difference is 9.5x(1020) -9.5x(1020) *0.999999991

Or just 9.5x(1020) x(1-0.999999991)

Which is 8 550 000 000 000 m

Or about 60 times the distance from earth to the sun, or 1.4 times the distance from the sun to pluto
