      This assumes time remains constant, though, right? But isn’t time affected by the black hole?

        Time dilation is your subjective acceleration veering into more “time” than “space”.

        If you somehow were in a flat universe with parallel velocity to an object several light-years away, and somehow managed to accelerate towards it at 1 g, you’d impact at the time on your watch that pure Newtonian physics says you would.

        The subjective clocks of the place you’re hitting would measure your travel time as a lot longer, however. But it wouldnt be infinite at all – a relatively small multiple of “several” years, in fact.

        (Before the relativistic impact recused both you and them to an energetic plasma, that is.)

          We have a physicist here ! Thanks to the universe 😁
          (i am more like a physics’ enthusiast who understood A. Einstein(s’) very old book on special (= 1st draft) relativity)
