A QUESTION OF LIGHT YEARS





So, this whole thing about the Hubble and Spitzer capturing different perspectives, separately, such as they did, with the Hubble capturing a photo dubbed The Pillars of Creation, then later, the same being captured by Spitzer, totally destroyed, then revisited by Hubble again, 20 years after it captured the original shot, finding it looking pretty much as it did with no evidence of it even beginning to be affected by what destroyed it got me to wondering if, then, Spitzer were to look back on earth, would it see it as it was several 1000 years ago?  How about the instrument that is furthest from earth?  Would it see the past?  If it zoomed in on the surface of earth, what year would it see?  Would we virtually (and helplessly) watch the earth be devastated by the flood?  Would we be able to answer historical questions and witness events?  If so, it would certainly lead to many new discoveries and answer many age old questions and solve the mysteries of history, settling many a debate.

The answer would be yes, kinda, but  the furthest instrument is still too close and it will likely never happen anyway because in using this method, the distance the instrument would have to be would be trillions of miles from earth then have to have the ability to zoom in close enough to see an event and transmit the information back which would be impossible.  Basically, if there is a way to traverse time, this probably wouldn't be it- but never say never.

Personally, I see several holes between the photos and story we are being told.  How about you?  Compare the original Hubble photo to this most recent one released and I see virtually no difference.  So, will the suggestion that there is one convince others that they see it?
