SOMEONE linked to this article on a recent thread, and I've looked high and low for it but I can't find it..

"At a velocity of 1516 c, traveling to the centre of the galaxy would take, as perceived by the life forms on board, a little more than 21 years."
I know they're making a comparison to sci-fi (which really grinds my hears but I won't go into that) but WHAT are they talking about?
At 1516 times the speed of light, the trip takes 21 years?? How did they perform that calculation? I'm so annoyed that this is in an actual science article.
