Just yesterday I was stressing over the fact that light that's billions of years old, and long since extinguished, is only just reaching us. In a way, does that mean it exists in some inconceivable fashion? Or something? Argh, my mind begins to swim. It just boggles the mind realizing the light from our own solar system will be travelling to other ends of the universe billions of years after we're all gone.
