ok the amount of light years away for this scenario is irrelevent...I want to know if someone...-as corrected-....65 million light years away were to view us would they be staring at dinosaurs...and if so...WHY in the universe would they try to communicate with them...thats like us finding microbes on mars and trying to communicate with them ...oh BTW if the universe is 13 billion years old....need we not just point hubble in the right direction and see the big bang (if it happened)(along the same line of thought as to reason that half the stars in the sky arent there anymore)

thanks for the clarification that radio waves ARE light waves...can you clarify on anything else in my original post?

ok so ...if half the stars we see in the sky arent there anymore .....if we see the sun 7 minutes from 'real time' ...i have a poser.....this goes along with the whole "we have/are being visited by aliens" deal....say there is a star 13 million light yrs away and there is a planet with intelligent curious life...they look our direction....would they not see a planet inhabited by 'unintelligent' dinosaurs?....heres something else...if we are sending out radio waves to communicate with intelligent life, would it ever get to where it was going..I mean if radio waves travel slower than light waves and we shot it out to a distant star...by the time the radio waves got to where they were going...whos to say the star would even exist (now, much less in a million years)?...can someone help me out with this...I mean someone with a PHD in physics or something...if it is true then I have come to the conclusion that the "aliens" would have to be ALOT closer than we give them credit for (say extra dimmensionally)
