It just kind of blows my mind that if they are looking in a telescope right now they will see us 2000 years in the future? Will they have to stand in front of that telescope for 2000 years before the image becomes visible?
Like we look at a star that is 1 light year away in a telescope. Are we seeing the star 1 year later? I get that the light that we see takes time to travel to us so but if the telescope is super strong and I'm looking in it at something 2000 light years away I'll see them 2000 years prior. So these aliens are watching gladiator real time?!?
