Parallax measurements depend on time. They depend on time either existing, or existing the same as it exists on and near earth deep out in space. Unless time were the same, a year is not a year out there, therefore a lightyear is not a light year.
In fact, the stars were created to help us mark time, and so it is reasonable to speculate that the galaxies may be like giant sprockets in God's great time machine of the universe, that sets the time for earth! Therefore, of course it would determine the time/space here, and consequently the laws, that are dependent on time.
Hows that for some real science?
If we want to use miles or some distance rather than lightyears, that is OK, but the method is only good to about 326 'light years' away. For the sake of illustration we can grab a number in a what if scenario for the difference in time where the star is. Let's say for example that time exists at the star in a way that works out to about 1/7 of what time is here near earth. That would mean that if the star was 280 light years away, it would be something like 40 years away in actual time. Now if time didn't really exist as we know it where the star is, then all bets are off as to how long light would take to reach earth. We don't need to speed light up, simply change the time involved in getting here!
