Hear me out. It doesn't even matter that it's 96 billion light-years away if you're traveling at light speed. Because if you can travel at light speed, time would be better Frozen for you relative to earth time.

So if you're in a spaceship traveling at light speed to your destination, it would feel like you gotten there in an instant.

In an instant from the point of view of the people on Earth, but from your point of view time still moves forward.

Think about it this way - everything moves through spacetime at the same "speed", so the faster you go through space, the slower you move through time, which is why photons experience no time.
