The star could have died before it's light reached Earth. What if all we're seeing is just an image, a light, of the star, and not the real thing? If it takes hundreds of years for light, (which moves really quickly- it's how long it takes for you to "see" something, like an apple or a computer, right?)

And when we do watch a star die, are we really watching it die hundreds of light years after it's REAL death?

Or is it all just relative to the lifespan of the star?

Hi, im looking for a CD of nature sounds. However, I want sounds of heavy rain, wind, and thunder storms. Is there a CD dedicated to these sounds, or at least a CD with these sounds on (alongside other sounds).
Names of CDs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's 4:30 p.m. in south california (right by LA) and the sky and sun is RED! When you I stepped outside there was a reddish/ orange glow on my face, and the whole backyard/ pool-side also had a reddish tint. I looked down, and my shadow was an almost translucent blue! So bizzarre!

I looked up and there was a giant brownish red cloud in front of the sun (that's why everything's tinted) but other than that the sky is a clear blue. Why is that? I don't think it's pollution because I've never seen it in my life, and I've been to much more polluted places that this. Is it some weird gas?

I know evolution doesn't have a purpose, but when we observe complex mechanisms we wonder about their biological significance...
I understand the importance of finding beauty in people (selecting fit partners, other sociologic things), but what would be the advantage of liking to watch certain landscapes, the sunset, etc?

Do you think this is a subproduct of other selected process (for instance, it is important to be able to classify people as beautiful or not, so when that ability it comes up it is selected, but it isn't restricted to people only) or that it is important per se?

I don't know if I made myself clear... This is one of the things that comes to my mind once in a while, so I'dd like to hear some other opinions. :)
