Gary,
If I look in a curved mirror, I "seem to be" shorter/taller, due to the
alteration to light's direction.
If a distant event "seems to be" occurring at a different time, that is
due to the speed of light being FINITE .
So don't look in a mirror! If time really does physically alter, then
so does your length!
Events are happening NOW billions of (units of length) away. It will be
a long period before we receive that information. If you lack the
patience, head out in the direction of the event.
