Now Maya, that is some interesting good stuff.

I realize because light takes time to travel, everything that we see has actually happen in the past. However, the closer the distance, the time it takes to see something is much shorter and it seems like there has not been a delay.

Light is a wave.

Interesting about the other senses.

Like hearing thunder in a storm.

Wen,


Don't you ever what is going on with the sun today instead of waiting 8 days for it?

Exactly Cach! Brilliant stuff there.

BTW, was that you dancing in there? Also, I swore I seen Robert in the background there too.

But....interesting stuff though.

Hello Non,

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.

Good point with Mic's money Molly.

Mic,

I firmly believe we are as we are suppose to be....meaning, we are only meant to see what were are suppose to. Mostly likely, everything is probably as real as rain.

So, your car was probably a good buy.

Very smart Molly. Just take it as it comes.


....but


for me.





just curious I suppose

Hello Robert,

I think it was Icarus that once planned on traveling to the sun as well. I wonder if he wasn't as smart as your friend Ottmar, traveling to it at night.

Ek,

I agree.

However, what happens if something goes on with the sun and it is no longer real or exist as we always knew it?

Would it be still be real during that 8 minute period?


I bring this up because it almost can be looked at like we are watching some sort of video footage that was constantly recorded 8 minutes ago.

Hello Mic,

I really do not know personally, I can just go by what scientists claim. In this case, Fritjof Capra in his book The Tao of Physics claims that it takes 8 minutes for the light to travel from the sun to the earth; therefore, "we see the sun, at any moment, as it exist eight minutes ago."

Bear...thank you for sharing your perspective about death. It perhaps is something that needs more thought.

Hello Nam,

That very well can be. What about life itself?

just have a sec here...i'll double check my source on that mic

RE: Biggest Weirdo on CS for the past year

Ash....clever way of describing yourself and your perspectives...is how I would describe you. :)

RE: How's Your 2018 Started Off?

Hello Track,

My 2018 started out like how my 2017 ended.

RE: BEST WISHES FOR '18, WORLD-HAPPY 12th NIGHT, Y'ALL

Happy New Year Mic.

hmmm....some women

Hello Maya,

I enjoyed your intelligence. :) You too....Happy New Year.

RE: Daft things we do

Legs....

I once thought using a hair dryer to dry my private area was a little daft, until I recently seen a commercial with a guy doing the same thing.


Does that count as daft?





Yes Legs...I am guilty of daft doings. :)

RE: Daft things we do

Legs....possible early onset?

hmmm....some women

Robert.....not much else I can say....

hmmm....some women

I wonder Robert....why is it that I am still sitting here single?

If you are right, something is not adding up.

hmmm....some women

Maya,

That was me...I was told that is what women really want.

So....

Somebody is BS'ing me.

hmmm....some women

Hello String,

That was a very popular movie back in the day....if I am not mistaken, people from many age groups watched that back then.

hmmm....some women

Molly....for sure, I always enjoy reading your comments. :)

hmmm....some women

That is for sure Molly. That is one of the key reasons I used 'some' in my title.

hmmm....some women

Ash...I have read your theory twice and closely each time. Much, if not everything you wrote, makes complete sense.

You know Ash, I wrote to somebody once...I remember when I was younger and hearing from the elders of that time...they would say the world is not what it was once.

I have grown up and I seem fine....key word is seem... ...anyway, I seem fine.

Now I am the grown up and I am seeing and saying similar things about how the world has changed.

Maybe things will be fine for the up and coming generation.

Today, we do have record divorce, debt and a whole host of other issues.

Maybe things won't be fine.


I really do not know....but that is why I bring up such blogs as these. Maybe we are missing something as a society, maybe we just need something to BS about, maybe we are going down the right path.

hmmm....some women

Molly...."couldn't have a serious conversation with women about that book".....is that not exactly what you are doing right now?

hmmm....some women

Da Vinci Code was good.

hmmm....some women

Let us know what you think of it Maya.
