Looking Back In Time

jinxprotocol · Aug 12, 2009, 05:54 PM

I recently watched a program on the Science network about the history of the universe, and a representative from Hubble said that pointing the Hubble Telescope into deep space represented looking back in time. What does this mean, exactly? It's not a literal statement, is it? Does it relate to how long light takes to reach us? I'm just getting into learning about the cosmos, so please help me! Thanks.

Ah thanks for sharing! I was not sure of some facts, but now, you 'cleared' them!

I think that if settling to Mars is a success, then, it would be the proof that we can go further, so, Mars is the 'first step' in some way. Going to Mars may not be enough, but will give us some more time. Well, I don't think that any of us here will witness that, and I don't think I would like it to be so

Asking, I wasn't saying anything was "pointless", just rambling. Of course, you make some points, but, if you accept science as it is today, there will never be an "infinite" lifeform.

As Unknown said, we can move when we kill the Earth, but even if it isn't as active, there are laws of physics on Mars that will retaliate when we try to take advantage of it, as well as in the rest of the universe.

Again, I'm just rambling, and don't even have a point to anything I'm saying. (Actually watching TV and not even paying attention to my typing, lol.)
