    Wait much faster? Doesn't that difference get infinitely small?
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    No. The speed of light is constant for all observers. So if I observe you moving at 0.99999999999999999999999999999999999999 c, you still observe light to move away from you at c, not at 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 c.

    It's space and time that are not constant for all observers.
