:Added "objective" to that bit, to make it plain it wasn't her years but (within the most handy alternate frame of reference) ours. It has to fit with the non-aging aspect of the whole mystery, so the living-on-an-island answer doesn't replace the lightspeed one that way. (Unless the island had mystically soporific qualities, like Sleeping Beauty's castle!) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.117|172.70.90.117]] 08:52, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

:....someone undid that edit without any attempt at explanation (hello? did that person read this at all?). Possibly a metaphysical issue with there being no absolute objective frames of reference, as I had myself pondered during the insertion of that word, but I'm not sure it was quite so well thought out. So I put "non-subjective" in its place, instead, to perhaps better serve the same purpose but without (the same) problems. Hopefully that will satisfy both you (IJWTES) and them, this time. If not, I'll just let someone else work out the better way to mention/clarify it. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.193|141.101.98.193]] 09:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

...noting, in passing, the [https://www.itv.com/news/2024-01-30/explorer-claims-to-have-found-missing-plane-of-amelia-earhart current news story] claiming to have found her plane. (Well, ''a'' plane, is the most I'd credit it at right now. But future editors will know more.) [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.95|172.71.178.95]] 13:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
