Two dimensional units of measurement such as kilometers or light years may seem obvious, but those are constructs. Nothing is ever at equal distance. We just haven't found a way to measure this properly yet because we insist on lineair conception. The relative discrepancy may be trivial, but the consequences for scientific thought should not be ignored.
