And if you are standing on earth and you shine a laser beam off a mirror on the moon, it takes a MEASURABLE amount of time to be reflected back to you. Does this concept confuse or frighten you, that light from an object a hundred million light years away might actually have taken a hundred million light years to get to us? What is so difficult about the concept of a light year that you somehow think it should be instantaneous for a (relatively)stationary observer rather than taking a year for light to traverse?
