Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By midcap: It would be really cool to go back in time and just like pop in every month for one day from the start of every civilization to the end. Just to see what happened. I think mathematically it's actually possible to look into the past because the photons are out there still traveling. So you would need to bend space/time in order to jump out in front of those photons and observe them You just broke my head. |

Although, not a "scholarly" presentation, this site has a boatload of worthwhile data to consider and I don't find them to be hysterical in the slightest.
This micro-nova hypothesis is worthy of consideration, IMHO.  The Solar Micronova is Going to Happen |
