Cosmology - The window of time -
You may have already realized that there is an apparent paradox between your instantaneous observation of the night sky and the limited speed with which light travels through space, linking us to the past of the stars. If the light does not go through the vacuum instantly, how do you explain that in order to see the stars we just lift our heads to the sky on a dark, cloudless night? The answer is time. Time is a kind of prison, for it stands between us and reality. Nothing can be seen directly. Even if this is not real, time behaves as if it were an intrinsic movement. That is, it is contained within ourselves, by a principle of exclusion of direct access to our future. Think about it, and you will give more importance to your own role in the history of the universe. Your universe is the same as mine, but you may be looking at it from a different moment of time. The consequences of this are unpredictable.
Good reading! See you.
