“... I think that’s because its light hasn’t reached us yet”
Actually, since only 5% of our known Universe is visible, being that the other 95% is Dark Matter/Dark Energy, that is the reference as to why we cannot ‘see it’. As of yet anyway.
and if I may use this to soapbox: Blame your high school chemistry/physics teachers who state unequivocally that ‘everything’ in the Universe is made up of parts of the Periodic Table.
As a scientist, physicist by training, TRUE science has as it’s cornerstone this fact, “We only know what we know now” meaning, anyone dead-set on a particular belief MAY live long enuf to experience a ‘shift’ in perception.
Examples are endless. Earth is the center of the Universe, our Sun revolves around the Earth, etc. Currently it is the Anthropologic Global Warming Nazi’s belief system that is giving you electric cars, solar panels in the desert frying birds in the sky and windmills slicing and dicing up eagles and other protected birds as I type.
Scientific wannabees. They think their PHD makes them ‘smart’... they know ‘too much’. They forget the scientific basics like, Energy cannot be created or destroyed. And they go on believing that electric cars save the planet. Hell, they cannot ‘save’ their own lawn.
Being a good steward of world is NOT the same as ‘saving the planet’. The latter type needs medication before and after arrogance arrestment and the former live in the real world.
I like what George Carlin once said about that “Save the planet” catchphrase.
“The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!”
LOL!
