If the stars we see are light from millions of light years away and they see our Sun’s light the same, is the whole universe “existing” in the same time?

Question

Hi all, I didn’t know how to formulate the question in a non stupid way so I’ll explain.

If the light we see from stars in the sky are actually “the past” as they’ve left their source light years ago, from another point in the universe another planet sees our Sun’s light the same way, correct?

If that’s the case, if there was an “universal year” or an “Universe’s current year”, would all the stars and planets be living in the same year?

Maybe I am 5, I feel 5 right now.

Thanks 🙂

There should be an absolute frame of reference.

The universe seems to change its entire structure all at once.

This is why em fields collapse everywhere all at once when its photon particle interacts with something else.

In simple terms: Yes.
