Fortunately, if you travel near the speed of light, much less time passes for you, the traveller, than on Earth!
And if you're lucky enough to be a photon, you get to have NO time pass, which means that from your perspective, the sun you came from and the skin you get absorbed into are touching. And if space is an illusion in one frame of reference, it must be an illusion in ALL frames of reference.
Or something.
