Science claims that we see back in time


Do you think light travels instantaneously across any distance?

He's wrong about that. I am a quick mover. I can switch the light off and get into bed before the room gets dark.
 

Tell us rabidalpaca, why were scientists too ignorant to understand that they needent wait for 1919 to claim that proof? Science is calling it proof, right?

Since you claim to understand science so well rabid alpaca, tell us how science could have come to that conclusion 100 years at least before that, if not 300 years before that? Science makes many claims because of the desire to keep the funding going. It's a good thing to keep the funding going, but it is a very bad thing to make up a lot of nonsense, for the sake of money and prestige. It is wasteful and stupid. Now if you will, being as smart as you are and telling me that you You emplore me to actually read some science, when I have been reading writing and arguing science since 2006. On average I have spent four hours a day reading writing and arguing science on multiple websites. I have a lot more science that I have come to understand and I use simple cause and effect with which to explain things, unlike science, in cosmology.
 

With the second Picture in your post, why didn't science actually take a picture of that, so that science could prove it instead of putting up some little drawing and making the claim?
 

As to your first picture and its claims, the simple fact still remains, that if pictures are coming into our eyes, and into the camera, everything is already in color. There should be no need for Colored film. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
 

It is hard to understand what you write. One would think if you have been doing this since 2006, that you would know how to write by now. But your writing skills are so bad that people read it and dont really understand what you were trying to get across. This shows a very low level of education. What we see is that either you were home schooled but didnt really learn anything or you are about 10 years old. Now if we dont assume that you are just extremely uneducated then that leaves us with the impression that you are baiting/trolling. I suggest that you read the site rules before you go any further.
 

Better yet, look again at alpacas second picture and tell us what celestial body is the gravitational lensing being done around? Then go to the site that you offered and find what celestial body is being used in those pictures. After you do that, I want you to think about what happens when you enlarge the picture too much.

One more thing, science is adding color to those pictures. Now when you add color and enlarge something too much, it starts to get hazy and out of whack. and you can see by taking a picture with your own camera, if you enlarge a picture too much.

They are different celestial bodies. This is all a joke, right?

I wish children were taught to think for themselves, instead of following the bouncing Redball and the copy and paste education that they are given.
So do I.

You're certainly a reminder but for reasons different to your aim.
 
Look at the picture that alpaca put up and then look at the picture that you put up. There is a huge difference.

The second picture is something called an illustration. It is a diagram meant to demonstrate a concept, not a literal photograph of the phenomenon.

Answer my previous question: do you think light travels instantaneously across any distance?
 

They add color because many of these photographs come are taken in wavelengths than the human eye cannot see at all, or in wavelengths we can't easily differentiate. It doesn't get "hazy" or "out of whack." This isn't photoshop. It's not equivalent to your digital camera. It's a simple conversion of wavelengths.

Not all cameras see the same light your eyes do.

Change the subject, some of you seem to be real good at that. As to light traveling instantaneously across any distance, Perhaps you should read up on it.

They would not need to, if as science and many here claim, that light brings pictures into our eyes and into our cameras, because everything is in color already.
 
If you drive your car at the speed of light and turn the headlights, would anything happen?
 

A camera is still at the heart of the telescope, taking the pictures. When I refer to gravitational lensing, and how science presents the pictures, along with how science speaks of such and how cameras work, I can see how wishful scientists could interpret many things, without understanding.

Interesting question, however, the only thing that would happen is, the head lights would come on.
 

Okay so once again can you please explain to me how a camera works?

I gave you my version now please give me your version.

I know the answer to the question. I want to know if you know the answer.

Light has a finite travel speed. Objects are at a measurable distance. Therefore, a finite amount of travel time is required. That's the "seeing back in time" effect. If I wave my hand to you while I'm at Alpha Centauri, it will take years before the image of that handwave reaches you. Why do you think you'd see my handwave before that?
 

A prediction was made based on the theory and that prediction turned out to be exactly true. Gravitational lensing is directly observable.
 

Meh I got a warp drive camera and eyes.
