i scared somone recently... it's amazing how we just take things for granted. I explained to someone at work that no matter where you look you are looking into the past...
"what! no way" came the exclamation.
the eye registers light and light travels at a finite speed so it would stand to reason that if you look at an object lightyears away or 4 meter the light still has to travel from the object to you eye...

I was working the lateshift with this person and the rest of the shift was spent in relative silence

yeah i know this is relatively basic stuff but its stuff the average person doesnt think about
