Light cannot be "47 billion light years" old. A light-year is not a measure of time.

Ive watched cosmos and read the book, but i never got to watch it while i was stoned...
my older bro was a big Carl Sagan fan and a smoker so he got me into Sagan back in high school
i would love to watch cosmos again after a nice smoke out....I'm sure it is even better while pleasantly stoned

very cool
-------------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

I had seen this before and I think that it's something everyone should see. Once you see this it seems kind of foolish to deny that there might possibly be other life in the universe. Seems very probable to me. Also I love the music selection. Can't go wrong with a little Pink Floyd.
Has anyone ever seen the videos of "Prophet Yaway"? Its this black guy who summons UFO's by praying. Pretty nifty... what do you think?
He's done it several times, just search for him on youtube.

Somebody floated a ping pong ball with a blowdryer and superimposed it onto the other footage. Probably the news channel themselves did it. They just didn't have anything better to report at the time.

Light cannot be "47 billion light years" old. A light-year is not a measure of time.
That's right, it is a measure of distance. If we see anything that is 47 billion light years away, it means the image is composed of light that was emitted from the object 47 billion years ago.
The sun you see when you look at the sky is what the sun looked like 8 and a half minutes ago. It takes that long for its light to made the 93 million mile trip. It is impossible to know what it looks like at the moment.

tears of inspiration
Actually I saw this video some time ago when I was looking at some quantum physics stuff and yes, I did cry.
Actually I cried for like 5 minutes coz it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and put everything in perspective really well.
The scale and majesty of the universe is truly, as you said, inspiring.

Quote from the Flat Earth's FAQ sheet...
Q: "What's underneath the Earth?" aka "What's on the bottom?" aka "What's on the other side?"
A: This is unknown. Some believe it to be just rocks, others believe the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle.
