The distance between two points is the distance between them. It doesn't depend on the method
an object uses to move between the two points. It also doesn't depend on what route an object
follows between them, or even whether or not anything moves between the two points.
The distance between the earth and the Orion Nebula is the distance, even though no object
has ever moved between the earth and the Orion Nebula.
