Strictly speaking, when telescopes look at the light from distant galaxies, they are not literally looking back in time. The past no longer exists, so no one can directly look at it. Instead, the telescopes are looking at the present-time pattern of a beam of light. Learn to read peasant. Link to post Share on other sites

You could also say that’s about 5 and half hours. So if you have a baller telescope on Pluto and you look at the earth, you see it about....5 and half hours ago. Fair enough, the logic still applies tho, just go further Link to post Share on other sites

If I’m far enough away, and can see with a strong enough scope, I can see millions of years ago. It’s a fact. Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest you AT LEAST read the full article you yourself posted, because you don't have a working understanding of this at all. Edited June 26, 2021 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites

You're not seeing in the past, the past no longer exists. You're seeing light as it travels through space. speaking of moving goal posts... You moved the goal post from saying you can time travel by looking through a telescope 🔭. ... 😂🤣 Then you backtracked and said "it doesn't matter" Link to post Share on other sites

What’s it called when you travel, and see a different time? If you sat on Pluto and watched a live stream from Earth on a light speed internet connection it would be delayed by 5 hours. Are you suddenly a time traveller then too? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
