When you look into a night sky you see the stars far away,
|
you're seeing them because of the light which travels from
|
them to you. Now it takes time for light to travel here, so
|
what you are doing is seeing the stars as they were in the
|
past, the amount of time it has taken for the light to reach
|
us and the further and further away those stars are, the
|
further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a
|
star that is say six thousand years ago, imagine somebody
|
on that star looking at us, they would be seeing us as we
|
were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now?
|
So space and time are linked together. As we are looking
|
across space, we are looking back in time.
