Soon in space-time does mean hundreds of thousands of years. The masses do not appreciate this, respectfully.

Not even in space time. If you consider the age of this planet, hundreds of thousands of years is still a tiny slice of time - especially given that even if you accommodate the possibility that humans have been around possibly only for a few hundred thousand years, in the grand scheme of the 4.53 billion years of existence of earth if reports are considered accurate, it's a blip on the radar, we barely even existed.

And we have only gained the knowledge of this as a species within the last hundred years.
