This is the entire premise behind Relativity. The theory that most of you profess but refuse to follow. Not only is there no such thing as absolute motion, but neither of absolute distance or time. All is "Relative" to the frame under consideration. There is no "universal" or absolute anything. It is all dependent on your, and your perspective alone. Only the frame that you choose to call the rest frame is relevant. And with each choice of frames undergoing acceleration, everything changes proportionally, so that again, it is relevant only in that frame in which the lengths, times and speeds are determined.
And with every change of speed, rulers shrink, clocks slow, dependent on that added energy, and what was once a light year is now shorter - even though you still call it a light-year, and to you nothing has changed, because you also changed with the clock and ruler.
