* The real-world equivalent of the SU is the [[w:Astronomical unit|astronomical unit]] (AU), which is approximately equal to the distance between the Earth and the sun. Because distances in the Colonial star systems are very likely to be different, the SU cannot be assumed to have a value close to that of the AU. However, the relationship between the SU and the Colonial light-year (which would vary from ours based on the difference between the year of the Twelve Colonies' reference point - possibly | * The real-world equivalent of the SU is the [[w:Astronomical unit|astronomical unit]] (AU), which is approximately equal to the distance between the Earth and the sun. Because distances in the Colonial star systems are very likely to be different, the SU cannot be assumed to have a value close to that of the AU. However, the relationship between the SU and the Colonial light-year (which would vary from ours based on the difference between the year of the Twelve Colonies' reference point - possibly [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]'s orbit around its star - and our own) is the same as that between AU and terrestrial light-years. Character ages in the series are similar to our own, suggesting that the differences between Earth and Colonial references are minimal, if not negligible<ref>[http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=1760 Kevin Grazier on Bear McCreary's blog]</ref>. | ||
