I have ascended. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. I am the retail you need to explain yourself to. Too old to fix typos, figure it out. Evolution of currency interests me.

@BoilerBall Different year, same team. A tad more unlikable each season.

@BarstoolPU Just the latest version of the suburban AAU team. #3 looks ridiculous out there.

The universe is a time machine and the math on the distance ladder will break your brain.
2,000 light-years gets you Rome. Go to 500 light-years and you're watching the Black Plague consume Europe in real time. At 80 light-years, you catch World War II. At 4.24 light-years, the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, the light arriving right now left Earth in 2022. Someone there is watching us argue about whether GPT-4 is sentient.
Now scale that in the other direction. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light-years away. An observer there right now sees Earth before modern humans existed. They're watching early hominids figure out stone tools. They have no idea what's coming.
The closest alien civilization is statistically estimated at 33,000 light-years away. They would be watching humans invent agriculture for the first time. Writing hasn't been invented yet. Cities don't exist. From their perspective, we are a species that just figured out how to plant wheat.
Here's what makes the physics cruel. To actually see a human-sized object on Earth from just 20 light-years away, you'd need a telescope array roughly 100 million kilometers across. That's more than half the diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun. To see Rome from 2,000 light-years? The optics required would be larger than our solar system.
The light is real. The photons that bounced off Roman soldiers are still traveling outward at 300,000 km/s right now, carrying that information forever. The universe has a perfect recording of every moment in Earth's history, expanding in all directions at the speed of light.
The problem was never distance. The problem is that no civilization, no matter how advanced, can build a lens big enough to read it.

Did you know🚨: A civilization 2,000 light-years away looking at Earth today would see the Roman Empire.
