But only after 10 years. You couldn’t see anything that wasn’t visible from the viewpoint of the mirror beforehand, as from earth’s point of view the mirror isn’t there yet. And if you’re there anyway… you can just look at Earth with the craft that’s on the position of the mirror already.

That's why we need to find a natural mirror somewhere already out there, so we can see into our past. Something like a planet made of pure mercury, or an arrangement of blackholes doing gravitational lensing that bends our light back to us, or whatever

Just look in any mirror. What you see is also you in the past.

He didn't curse in that line. In fact he didn't curse much generally. I don't have any objection to curse words, it just doesn't sound like his voice when you add curse words in.

Fuck shit ass titties. I just had to get that out after talking about not cursing

I tried to point this out and everyone got grumpy. It must be nice being so attractive.

True true. Heck it takes some 100-150ms for your brain to register what your eyes have seen.

You don’t even need a mirror, just look at your hands or feet or whatever, that’s what your hnd or foot or whatever looked like 2 or 3 nanoseconds ago.
