Looking at the night sky is a view into the past. Depending on the light distance and the years for said light to reach our location our view is always one of viewing past light from all stars. The current light of a star is never able to attain the years instantaneous therefore we view the past. That fact of we can only view the past when looking at the night sky has significance in that where does the past and present begin? To answer honestly it appears to be one’s location in the cosmos, yet how can the past be the present? No wonder time is insignificant within most equations.
