Itchy, Let me begin by saying that if you are referring to my first comment, Well that is not meant for you.
If you refer to and see my Femme fatale comment as an insinuation more than a compliment then I am sorry. You have me all wrong. Sorry wont happen again.
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.
