When you look out into the night sky...you can see the stars far away. You're seeing them, because of the light which has travelled from them to you. Now, it takes time for light to travel here. So what we're doing is seeing the stars as they were in the past, the amount of time it's taken the light to reach us. And the further and further away those stars are, the further back in time we're looking. Now...we're seeing...a star say 6000 years ago...imagine somebody on that star, looking at us. They would bee seeing us as WE were, 6000 years ago.
Which one of those two is now?
Though Space and Time are linked together, because...we are looking across space, we are looking back in time.
