Hi Scott,

If you are implying that the light we see from 3C273 gets here
instantaneous. I believe you would be incorrect in that. Btw,
I dont hold an advanced degree in either astronomy and physics 
so if I'm incorrect perhaps someone else can enlighten me. The
whole concept of light boggles my mind ever since I took up
astronomy. I was fine with it when you just turned a light bulb
on you got light lol

Here's another example, super nova 1987a for instance, if lights
trip was instantaneous then we would of miss that SN by 160 000 
years.

Regards,

Ozzy
