The Mystery of the Lost Puppet

You are your age and the speed of light May 24, 2009

the world is a funny place its a funny place. My sunny face has lighted up and i turn my head into a new race. A race of the heart a soul spawned desire to face. face towards the unknown the future, a new leaf i turn under the watchful gaze of a young star, albeit billions of years old now.

Light travels from youth, that which we look upon is older than how we see it. the world reaches us late. We are scientifically living in the past. As proven by the laws of physics.

If i may digress for a moment, there is a site the propounds disbelief in religion. I commented in order to engage in what the writer called a productive discussion, though i am yet to receive anything in terms of a reply from him.

If everything we look upon is older than they appear, then the difference in that age is equal to the time taken by light to travel from them to me.

that is why the stars are young. Because the stars we see are young. Their light has been traveling to us from a million years ago, so when we look at a star in the night sky, we see not what that star is at the present moment of time, but what it was when the light hitting our eyes left it.

Using statements like ‘at the present moment of time’ in addressing space and time and such big ass concepts, is not quite appropriate, but is sufficient to convey the message.
