Time, Distance, Speed is all irrelevant if you wish to travel to the nearest galaxy or whatever. As humans we have to have a reference to something, just to be able to try and comprehend it. Mr Moto is on the right track when he refered to the latest ideas on super gravity etc, bend space!!
Bring that galaxy to you!!, thus no need for travel at the speed of light.
P.S Im not a scientist or proffesor of physics, i just fly a quadrapuff!!
