But xris we do imagine more than we can see, just think of the weird movie. produced by the imagination of Hollywood moguls
Of course not all we imagine is true, but it is human imagination that led Isaac Newton , with his famous apple to understand gravity, Albert Einstein imagining that he was moving and the whole universe was stationary in relation to him , or the reverse that he sat on a light beam and all this imagination gave us the theory of relativity etc etc
A light year can be a moment or it can be an eternity it is all about perception.
