@aakashgupta why, in theory, can we only see light from the past? It implies that where we are now is 'true' time i.e there's nothing ahead as yet
English

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.

@DavidLikes80085 @UnityNewsNet I remember her actually saying something like 'well they were children so we weren't going to take their word over any adults'....which I found astounding
English

@UnityNewsNet I remember when a guy put in a FOI request "how many prosectuions have there been to date as a result of information about abuse being given to childline"....
ZERO. and this was like 20 years after they launched 'childline'.
I agree it was created to protect pedos

This is the person behind 'assisted dying' in the UK.
The person who said she had months left to live in 2024.
The person who set up childline in order to tip off high profile paedophiles in the British Establishment.
That person is of course Esther Rantzen.
Her Mother was Katherine Leverson.

It was so obvious Lord Sugar could not wait to boot off Levi … bias on full display #TheApprentice
English

Trump is yet again insulting our brave armed forces just because we refuse to be dragged into his illegal war.
The “toys” he refers to are called HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.
What more will it take for Keir Starmer to call off the King's state visit to the US?

🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump says UK aircraft carriers are “toys” compared to US ones

@PolitlcsUK @timmyvoe If Russia attacked the UK the US would show up, only because they perceive this as a threat to themselves though, nothing to do with helping us

Can’t even walk through the park!! 🤬
I really hope this lady is as ok as can be. How utterly horrific for her 💔

@DrNeilStone nor do I. I did know many people very, very sick with covid (pre jabs) and several that died. My cousin and sis in law caught covid very early and have been left with life changing damage

@Ericthered587 she's another one just stringing the partner along for tv time

Poor Grayson, having to deal with Julia’s bullshit.
He wants a loving wife.
She wants to update his quarterly one to one on Workday by close of business.

@Ericthered587 she gaslit him, he's busy blaming himself when she just wasn't that into him in the first place
English

I feel sorry for Chris, but he’s better off without Brooke.
At the end of the day, she really was a horrible twat.

@CuriosityonX Why is it always the past? Why can’t we see light that is ahead of us in time?

@natalie_Zion_ that is so sad. I imagine the majority of Brits support you. A small but loud minority, emboldened by a pathetic government, does not speak for me. Please don't lump us all in together.

@SpiggyTope they just perpetuate the problem from both sides. We almost had to have our dog put down until we found a 'not for profit' vet halfway across the country and that was even with decent insurance cover.
English

@Michelle71966 Pet insurance costs have also shot up. My dog's insurance went up a third from last year. They had to pay for an op in February so they will recoup the cost over the years ahead.
