Time dilation is your subjective acceleration veering into more “time” than “space”.
If you somehow were in a flat universe with parallel velocity to an object several light-years away, and somehow managed to accelerate towards it at 1 g, you’d impact at the time on your watch that pure Newtonian physics says you would.
The subjective clocks of the place you’re hitting would measure your travel time as a lot longer, however. But it wouldnt be infinite at all – a relatively small multiple of “several” years, in fact.
(Before the relativistic impact recused both you and them to an energetic plasma, that is.)
We have a physicist here ! Thanks to the universe 😁
(i am more like a physics’ enthusiast who understood A. Einstein(s’) very old book on special (= 1st draft) relativity)
Just a sci-fi enthusiast who got really annoyed by a trilogy that didn’t understand what the “delta” in “delta-v” meant and so the space ships spent a lot of time getting to a very high orbital speed before each fight.

Not a physicist – they know the math.
