You know how when you look at stars you're looking at how they used to be years, hundreds of years, thousands of years ago, and so on, even through a telescope? Well then if there were life forms somewhere else in the universe looking at earth they would see how we were how ever many years ago as opposed to how were are now. So somewhere in the universe an alien could be looking at dinosaurs or romans, if they had a powerful enough telescope. That being said, if we were ever able to contact them they could show us pictures of the past.

If we've actually been on video recording for the past 5,000 years from some insanely good telescope then damn, forget watching re-runs of Seinfeld any more.

But hoky shit stoned. I want to see some of those pics.
