Every time it seemed to be getting close, it would shorten and be just as far away as it always was. I'm assuming, of course, that it shortens from the front, but maybe it shortens from the back at the same time, in which case, I have no idea where it would be in relation to the planet at any given time (which time is dilating anyway).>
>Yes, but if it is dilating maybe it needs to be rushed to a hospital, to give birth to a new universe perhaps?
But that would only be when it reached 7 cm! :-)
