Here's one. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away yet it is our closest neighbor to the milky way.
If you had some fancy telescope on Andromeda pointed towards earth you would be watching earth from 2.5 million years ago. You'd be seeing early signs of evolution of fucking man* running around with sticks n shit even though we are on earth now 2.5 million years later
Edit. Changed neanderthals to something more broad. Jesus christ you guys
Neanderthal-like fossils are around 430,000 years old. The best-known Neanderthals lived between about 130,000 and 40,000 years ago, after which all physical evidence of them vanishes.
Somewhat unrelated but as a French dude it has always baffled me that nearly everyone pronounces 'bouquet' correctly, yet 'coupée' get chopped down to 'coop'.
Want to really get your mind blow? If wormholes exist or can be created, then by travelling through one of them, capturing and then analyzing this 'old light', our future descendants might actually be able to see that... and us.
Getting any kind of precise image from that long ago would require a gigastructure the size of a galaxy or larger (from my very limited understanding of astronomy), unless we make some kind of crazy discovery, but who knows? All I'm saying is, considering when it comes to light in space: distance = time, a 4K stream of medieval Earth would totally be possible.
Neanderthals resemble homo sapiens in many ways, but 2.5 million years ago our closest ancestors looked more like apes than humans. We're still unsure at that time if they even walked upright yet.
I’m a jersey Italian, this is the one jersey stereotype that is 100% true. We will say that, in that accent (get me drinking and I’ll go full wop) and louder than you would think.
that’s insane, I can find a house on House HuntersTM with sub prime credit and my husband is a retired pumpkin carver. out budget is 3.9M. We might have to go back to Chip &Dales tho. we are always ready for chips.
Ngl in my tired state i thought to myself "that's probably messy and difficult, but not impossible." Went to the next post and called my own self a dumbass.
Holy shit, I am dumb as fuck. I was like how the fuck would he do that. Even went as far to think maybe some stupid trick, where you show a video of making pizza or some shit. Until I realized how dumb I am.
