More than likely, though, I doubt it'll ever be explained. Whose to say that time in FTL/EF correlates to "our world"? Or that if it does sometimes, maybe other times it doesn't? FTL/EF is full of magic. We know that in Neverland time was basically frozen and that's why the children never aged (why Wendy, despite being the older sister, is still a young girl while her brothers have grown into men). Time is something that can be manipulated as well.
