DO YOU KNOW IT? 5 j, Astronomers announce that an explosion, probably the greatest in our history, took place Feb. 27 out atnong the. stars. Beta Ceti, a star of the “’second magnitude” or brilliancy, suddenly flamed up and became one of the brightest stars—technically kjiown as “first magnitude*” What the astronomers really means, is that the explosion took place 80 years ago and that it became visible to us-Feb, 27. Beta Ceti is so far away from our earth that it takes light, traveling 186,300 miles a second, 80 years to reach us. In other words, when we look at this star, we it as it existed in 1843. What is it like now? No Kof knowing until 80 years hence, in the year ,,A man 10 feet from you looks up and sees you-at a certain instant. Farther away, 100 feet behind him, another man looks up at identically the same time. But the second man sees you a fraction of a second later than does the first man, since it takes the light waves a fraction of a second longer to reach hiih. Trie fraction is infinitesimally small, of course. It Increases with distnnce. You’ve noticed a similar phenomenon if you ever looked out at sea and saw smoke come from a cannon before you heard the re port of the explosion. The explanation here is that light waves travel faster than sound waveg I^hen you look up into the sky at night, you see thej&tars not as they are today but as they were at various times in the past; The time depends on their distance. Suppose there were people living on Bela Ceti. ' There couldn’t be, as we understand things, be cause of the intense heat up there. But just sup pose. And suppose, also, that an astronomer ori Beta - Ceti has a telescope powerful enough to enlarge our earth sufficiently to see what^s going on here. Since it takes 30 years for light waves to travel between -our earth and Beta Ceti, that astronomer is seeing whtft happened on, earth 80 years ago. It would be the year 2003 before ho could see what is. happening; here today. Apply the same idea to more distant- stars,; and-people on them would be peering through their telescopes today watching the Battle of Water loo, -the building of the pyramids, funeral of King- . Tut-^-and so on, according to distance. This is what Einstein has in mind when , he says that time is rela- tive, not. fixed and absolute. If you ponder the jdea, it will impress you that in the universe there is hot really, any present, past or future. All is an Eternal Now. Time is a delusion of our senses. A light-wave- image, of everything we do, travels on forever into space.. All is eternal. worthy Christ Jetus come Into tho world to oavo sinners; of whom I am chief.—1 Tim. 1:15.
