But, due to the random nature of the changes the only way to determine the what actually happened to to compare the sequence of events at one place with the sequence of events at the other which need non-random messages which must travel slower then light. This is the same problem observed in the famous twin paradox where as long a constant velocities are maintained the you can never get the twins together to compare there aging and determine which is really older.
