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 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.~~

Edit: guess I was mistaken!

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.
