Time Dilation

An effect of the Moon's strange travel whereby months on Alpha can mean years or decades on Earth.

"Death's Other Dominion": Situationally-implied time warp or time dilation -- but more likely a time warp rather than dilation.
"Journey to Where": The Alphans are already cognizant of this when Earth (more specifically, Texas City) contacts them, even before the callers state the year is 2120. The callers believe the Alphans will already understand this too.
BOW: Here the Alphans forget about this effect, and Maya later wonders why, only for someone (John?) to speculate that perhaps the alien invaders were blocking that line of reasoning.
