Okay, something's started bugging me since "No Exit" aired last week...
So. The Final Five had to take a relativistic flight to get from their "Earth" to the Twelve Colonies in their hopes of averting a second "organics vs. Centurions" war, such as wrecked their world and caused the sundering of the Thirteen Tribes on Kobol. That relativistic flight took "2,000 years" in real-universe terms.
So...would the "real-universe" time-elapsed be any kind of useful clue in figuring the distance from "Earth" to the Colonies?
Note also: I'm figuring "Elder Cylon Earth" to be fairly close to Sol. It has to be, for the constellations from which the Colonies derived their names to visually match records in the Tomb of Athena on Kobol(per "Home, Part II") so closely as they did in "Revelations".
