But we just did that: light from visible stars comes in at the same angle as the visible stars. So now we know the truth: sight is not instant. If it wasn't, then light would have to curve towards every observer... everywhere in the universe, simultaneously, to create the illusion that it is not. That is not just extremely unlikely, it is completely impossible. |
Light coming from a star is delayed, just like light coming from the Sun would be delayed by 8 1/2 minutes if it was just turned on. No one is disputing this. |
Right, which means that in the case of the sun, for example, we have to wait 8.5 minutes for the light to reach our eyes, which means we are seeing an image of the sun as it was 8.5 minutes in the past. The farther away the object, the farther into the past we see. In the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it takes light 2.5 million years to reach our eyes. So, when we see the galaxy, we are seeing an image of it as it was 2.5 million years ago.
Have you finally got it? This elementary subject that people have been teaching you for 15 years on the Internet, which kindergartners can grasp in about one minute?
