I thought time was relative and if we could travel at the speed of light or faster, we wouldn't age. Also if it takes billions of years for light from another galaxy or quasar to reach us, we are seeing what that star looked like billions of years ago, but it may have already supernova-ed and died, becoming dark matter. The light from our sun reaching other galaxies is the same. They are seeing our solar system's star as it was billions of years ago, before there was even life to speak of on earth. I'm not sure how that fits into all of this, but I think it makes time more elastic and conceptual than linear. So I agree with you Shadow.
