Gravity is a bitch and how it distorts space time. Here nearest a star imagine being a bullet fired out of a gun in orbit. You exist and ride on this bullet. Inside the tiny grooves and indentations it's microscopic levels life exists it move through time slowly while Generations occur in transit to the wall. That is us the human race riding on the back of the bullet. The question is what happens if you get off the bullet. Will you now be in a different space and time. One where time and distance has no relevance.
