im trying to figure out this problem.
say that i look into a telescope and see a planet that is 40 light years away.
so when i see that planet, i am seeing that planet as it was 40 years ago in the PAST, cuz that is how long it took for light to travel for me to see it here on Earth.
now the problem i have is, say on that planet at the planets PRESENT MOMENT, the whole entire planet blew up and exploded in the PRESENT. how am i supposed to know that it blew up and exploded, cuz when i see it, it looks intact round-shaped and everything??
what im saying is if the planet blew up and exploded in the planets PRESENT TIME, how am i able to see a planet that is intact?? shouldnt i not even see a planet at all, since there isnt one there in the planets PRESENT TIME??
it seems like there is two diffrent times, earth time and the planets time. im confused. i wish i had einsteins brain and imagination for this thought.
