It's all relative, ain't it?
I think this goes back to the speed of light decreasing.
You'd be very good at PCR.
(NOTE: PCR = Post-Creative Rationalization: the process by which writers make up a back story to explain things that they put into scripts that previously made no frelling sense whatsoever.)
We do that all the time. Explaining to ourselves why they did what they did in some sci-fi show.
Well, not even just sci-fi. When we watch some nature show or geography show on Discovery Channel and they go into "millions of years" of erosion or evolution, we just say they haven't factored in that exponential decrease to the speed of light.
There was one math equation (not really provable but fascinating) that has our universe at roughly 6000-7000 years old by the exponential decrease of light from the Big Bang to now. Thus explaining why even the most distant galaxies are still fully formed even though what we're seeing now of them is supposed to be billions of light years in the past. Older than earth even.
Love that kind of stuff.
You make my head hurt. But it's very impressive.
