Checking around a bit, there are a wide range of numbers quoted for this. Simplistic calculations say it's *at least* thousands of years, but the assumptions you make can add two or perhaps three more zeros to that. It's not a number that interests the astrophysicists very much, so nobody with detailed knowledge seems to have made a serious attempt to calculate an authoritative number, and there is no obvious way to measure it within one NSF funding cycle. :-)
