Samedgar2001 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Idk if this has anything to do with relativity Maby it does but I thought I should ask if it takes a year for example for light to travel from one place to ours then we are seeing 1 hour into the past of that planet therefore would it add more proof to the idea that the future is predetermined?
Strange Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 This isn't really anything to do with relativity. Just the finite speed of light. So if light takes a year to get from somewhere else to here then we see it as it was 1 year (not hour) ago. So we are seeing its past. I'm not sure why you think this is connected to predetermination? We are seeing the past, not the future. And we can never see anything more recent than a year ago on that distant planet.

More proof ? ? ? I wasn't aware of any existing proof. No, what it adds is more proof that the past is retrodetermined.
