My Theory on looking back in time

its not that your looking into the past, its just that light takes a long time to travel that distance

for example: if you look at the sun in the sky thats what the sun looked like 8 minutes ago because it takes 8 minutes for the light to get from the sun to earth

 

you could only see the past if you travel faster than the speed of light

 

Seems like everyones saying it should works and we can see examples of it in everyday life , the suns rays take 7 seconds to reach us or something like that, and if an asteroid hit Jupiter we would see it 55 seconds later.


So its pretty much proven. 1000 post for the world , thanks for all you're replies and just for being clean and good. Not damn scammers

 

If you had a really good telescope then i think yes

 

I get what you mean, but it'd be kinda pointless, seeing how even if we we're 10 light years from earth, there wouldn't be any easy way to get that information back to earth.

If we could look millions and billions of years back, we could see all sorts of things, why the dinosaurs died out, what they really looks like, all the species. But again, getting that information back to earth would be... rather impossible..err at least very hard to do.

teleporting ftw!

 

um what is that lol

 

Well you are looking in the past because it already happened when you see it... "The past is the portion of the timeline that has already occurred"

 

i think its irrelancfent

 

irrelavent*

 

so why isn nay one hee?

 

so why

 

is this

 

so deserted

 

Wouldnt it take another 10 light years for the light from the earth to reflect into the telescope making it visible to us?

 

No, he's just making bullshit claims to support the semantics about Jesus Christ or some other imaginary figure. It's better to just leave the fanatics alone.

 

you're almost right, it's forward in time.

 

interesting theory but if you traveled away 10 light years, essentially it would take 10 light years to get there. so you would be looking upon the world as you remembered it.

 

That has to be the most profound thing ive ever heard. Its changed my perspective on this... I didnt even know any of this was possible... thanks guys

 

Yeah, I agree. I think he's right.
