sooooooo if the sun blew up or turned off right now, it would take 8 minutes for us to notice.

soo light from a star which is 100 light years away will take 100 years to get to Earth.

So when we are looking that star we are seeing what it looked like 100 years ago. :ohhh:

I never believed that shyt. nikkas really telling folks we seeing old light from 100s years ago. I refuse to believe it no matter how scientific they try to package it up. Meanwhile the sunlight takes approx 8 minutes to reach us.

A new sun will be regenerated. In the meantime most earthly organisms would perish. But a new set of beings would emerge. And they shall refer to themselves as Gods. And they are indeed Gods because their basic knowledge would start from the very point man’s intelligence ends.

It's mind boggling but it's real.

There's a lag between here and Mars. For like radio transmissions.

We have satellites that have gone to the outer reaches of the solar system. We can measure the lag.

If you accept the 8 minutes.. you accept that something twice as far away would be a 16 min lag..

The 100s 1000s and 1000000s of year differentials are indicative of just how far away they are. And how vast the Universe is

light coming from the moon is just over a second

so 8minutes from sun makes sense
