A Light Year IS indeed a measurement of Distance. But Light that takes 7.8 LY's would in fact mean something like 48 trillion miles away.
Yup. Something like that.

Remember what I said about the tunnels in space? They aren't exactly like tunnels on earth because they are made of 'energies'.
And the soundtrack grinds to a halt. Huh? I seem to have missed the Tunnels In Space discussion.

If we presume that 'they' are telling us the truth about the distance (a huge leap of faith in and of itself)
I'm guessing that by "they" you mean "astronomers". And yes, let's presume they're telling the truth, seeing as there's no reason for them to lie about it. Not exactly a huge leap of faith, especially when you compare it to the leap of faith required to believe in Tunnels In Space or aliens from Zeta Ridiculi.

What is keeping this or Any Body out there stuck in our 3-d limited version of reality?
Depends on how you consider theories involving more than three spatial dimensions. Three dimensions work pretty well for me, except when I stub my toe on a table. Pesky reality.
