just a quick blog...for thought
If the light we see from the sun is 8 minutes old, that means the sun we see in our present time is not real?What else may not be real?
Maybe some fake news. lol
Anyway, happy Saturday night you all.

you are rewriting the physics handbooks.
Einstein claimed that speed slows time and you say time destroys reality. It may have been a lively debate if you were living in the same time. You may even have put him out of business.
I suspect, as light is traveling to us from the sun....as with the star light that travels to us being 1000's of years old....it allows us to see them.
Because the speed of light is not instantly seen, but takes time to travel, what we see that produces that light is not exactly the same as the present moment. ....because of the time it took for it to reach us.
For example, a star that we see in the night sky, in many cases, is 1000's of years old.
Now if that star exploded in a supernova and no longer exists...we will still see that star in the sky for 1000's of years later....even though it no longer exists."
So let me localise your argument.
You are asking;
Does my car which is parked at work exist,
because my garage at home in which it was parked this morning has just exploded.
Light is both a wave and a particle. Sun light It is not directly connected to the sun it is the effect of a reaction happening there.
Just as the car parked at your job is an effect of you driving it there. it is not part of you garage just because it began its journey there.
Pick me up Scotty
Time, distance, and light.
...just something to ponder is all.
Back then, they may have very well tried locking me up.
So, the sun we see presently, is the exact sun that exist.
That is something that I wonder.
The sun we see is a bright light, with shape. Does that light qualify for the 8 minute travel?
That is a good question. What would happen? Would the light beams shine in front of your car?
Yes....it very well might be pointing out the illusions we may take as reality.
Trying to expand on the possibility of that.
