     It's the acceleration that makes the difference.   
   =A0=A0   
   =A0=A0Regardless of what happens in the next five years, at the end of   
   acceleration, the distance of nearly 40 years-light has decreased to   
   almost 5 years-light.   
   =A0=A0   
   =A0=A0If the space has contracted abruptly, time must have expanded   
   abruptly.   
   =A0=A0   
   =A0=A0But (I repeat) the sudden change is not due to uniform motion but   
   acceleration.
