The Light-Century. A Lifetime Distance Away.

Through Space 'n Time. Beyond Which Our Life Flame And Theirs Will Have Faded, Perished, And Gone Out. But, See The End Below For The Good News! Near-Light Time-Suspended Animation For Immortality If That's What You're Looking For.


For Now, I Propose An Astronomical Distance of Measurement More Personable, Meaningful, and Approachable Complementing The Light-Year In Common Usage, Relating Pegging Time Instead To Human Lifetime(s). One Light-Century Is The Distance That Light Travels For 100 Years Or A Lifetime To Get There. One Light-Century Away is 100 Light-Years Away. A Half Light-Century Away Is A Half-Lifetime / Half-Generation Away By Light. And 15 Light-Centuries Away That Is The Distance That Light Travels In For 15 Human Lifetimes Or Generations To Get There. Vice Versa, The Light That Arrives We Receive From Them Is Then 1500 Years Old Or 15 Human Generations Old.


A Light-Century Away. Some Say LIght Is So Slow Because of the Vast Distances We Are Dealing With Being Given. By The Time Our Radio 'Light' Message Has Been Traveling And Reaches Gets There, We Will Be Gone By Then. Our Life Flame Has Extinguished Gone Out. Vice Versa, By The Time Their Radio 'Light' Message Gets Here, Their Light Is 100 Years Old Or A Lifetime/Generation Old. Their Life Flame Too Has Extinguished Gone Out. If They Aren't Redwood Trees With 500+ Years Lifespan At Their End.


In Short, The Significance, A Light-Century Distance of Separation Would Mean Life At Both Ends Will Have Perished and Be Gone By The Time Radio Communication Is Either Sent Or Received. So, We Would Want A Temporal Co-Existence Window For Both Them And Us To Be In.


But Now The Good News! There Is Near-Light Time-Suspended Animation For Us. The Closest Thing To Immortality As Physically Possible. Just Travel At Near-Light Speed To 'Suspend' Time. When Time Comes To A Crawl, Albeit Stops, For You...
