When Omari Caro sprinted down the field, as a result of that run, he is an infinitesimal (but precisely calculable) amount of time younger, relative to the spectators, than he would have been had he not made that run.

Presumably the inverse effect resulted in Paul Wellens' retirement.

It's a remark, not a theory! I'm not about to write a thesis. But if you were a photon, "travelling at the speed of light, then the distance to anywhere in the Universe IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL is Nil. Fact. Cos Albert said so.

Still waiting for the explanation as to how it gets dark a night if "every photon is everywhere at the same time". Maybe all the night time photons are duds? Or got burnt out travelling so fast..

Simply because that fact is only true for the photon - not observers of the photon, who are in a completely different spacetime.
