RE: That Sunlight You Feel Might Be 50 Million Years Old - Which means your existence as the observer was known 50 million years ago! WHAT!?!?!

in #rant6 years ago

but how do the photons know that we would see them if they haven't left the sun yet and took that 8 minute journey to earth? It's more than mind blowing, I feel sick haha

That's exactly the trippy part. We can setup elaborate tests and they have to prove it... So, as I said, my question is, did the universe know ahead of time I would observe or did I as the observer collapse the wave function that far back through time... Either way is amazing.... Or again, there is some other mechanism behind the scenes that we don't understand yet...
