    I'm assuming that the differences in distance can be taken in similarly to the differences in time that special relativity describes. So the yellow yard is 1 yard for the hussiebot, but 3 lightyears for the kids.

    Following this reasoning, the distance is even longer for the planets, which are shrunk who knows how many times smaller than even the kids are. Assuming the planets are 100,000,000 times smaller than normal (which if they're similar in size to the moon, would put them at ~1 inch wide), that means that the distance to the other window is instead three hundred million lightyears relative to them, plus another few thousand years from the time they were shrunk before entering the window (they were going very fast then, too) and however long it takes them to decelerate after leaving the second window. (Unless Jade was/will be using her green sun powers to negate that)

    So um, what's happened on those planets in those three hundred million years, do you guys think?
