Think about it. That means RIGHT NOW light is being generated by a star. However, you won't see it until YEARS from now. Just imagine if you could be there, see the light, then somehow beat it before it got to the observers. That = time travel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that's such a simple yet AMAZING fact to ponder.



Time Travel...phew...here we go again!


... Learned this so long ago ...
