Debate:If the universe is young and it takes light millions of years to reach us from far off stars, how can we see them? (view source)
Revision as of 23:59, March 10, 2007
, 23:59, March 10, 2007→Theory 1: not viable
Well, I would venture to say that we have not seen the far off ones yet. We can only see the light that has reached the Earth so far. This means that the currently-visible stars are "only" several thousand lightyears away. --[[User:David R|<<-David R->>]] 17:16, 10 March 2007 (EST)

: Empircally false. Basic parallax data gets us that there are stars at least 7000 years away and more sophisticated techniques force other stars to be even farther away. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 18:59, 10 March 2007 (EST)
