Date: February 8th, 2016 8:20 PM Author: honey-headed nubile abode gunner Not all of it. Many of the brighter stars are bright because they are relatively close to the Earth. For example, the brightest star, Sirius, is only about 9 light years away so the light we see now left the star in 2007.
The furthest object you can easily see with the naked eye is the Andromeda galaxy which is about 2.5 million light years away. |

Date: February 8th, 2016 6:21 AM Author: gay underhanded goal in life base time is a localized phenomenon, so you are not really looking back in time in any meaningful sense, and its localized essentially because of the light speed limit of transmitting information. what im saying is i guess is that it doesnt matter that you are looking at some distant star from the past, its not some collective unified all encompassing past that is shared by your locale...so who cares.

But we don't see someone hit a base ball and talk about hitting a time traveling baseball from the past. |

Just after telling her, he pointed this giant-ass telescope at the chick and was able to see her one last time before he'd broken her heart. It only lasted a moment, but if our school had more tech he could have stretched it out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3122622&forum_id=2#29779113) |
