Light Years, Time Travel And Who Might Be Looking

If you look up into the night sky at all those thousands of stars..Have you ever wondered if some where out there, someone might be looking back at us? Scientists say that most of those stars are billions of light years from where we are. That by the time that light actually reaches us..That some of those stars have long since burned themselves out.

If this is fact...That we are seeing light that indeed happened in the history of that star or star system...That in real time..Those stars may not even exist any longer..Then aren't we seeing evidence of time travel?

If we look up in the night sky seeing light from a place that most likely burned out billions of years before the light actually made it to us..Then we are seeing into the past.

And if by some chance..Someone is out there watching the light that comes from our little solar system...Are they seeing light that came from this place thousands of years ago? Maybe when dinosaurs were still walking on our planet. What would that light look like to them?

Just for the record. I'm not sure I believe in the whole "Area 51" aliens visiting our planet thing. I have relatives who would argue that point. But that's a another story. And a branch of the family tree that Id rather not shake out right now, if you don't mind.

But I do wonder. We are life..So then why would we be the only life? Even if you have a firm belief in God. The bible doesn't say anything about the solar systems outside ours containing life or lack there of.

If our planet is like one grain of sand on a beach as immense as our universe. Then why would we be arrogant enough to think that we are the only grain with life? And if we as life forms are able to change and advance. Then wouldn't we have to assume that there is the possibility that another life form could do the same? Even if that life isn't the same as our own.

I dunno Jef. I hear they really like your part of the country.
Who knows you could be the very reason they come here.
If I were you, Id start sleeping with one eye open.

Ahhhhh---isn't it a great mystery. They are out there and do exist. But what of the inner dimensions. Macro vs. Micro.

Isn't it great!! So much to rollick around in.
