I think it's time that we withdraw our troops.

I guess humans observing stellar happenings will, over time see them as excruciatingly slow-motion, due to the time it takes for light to travel to Earth.

Humans living 1,000 to 2,000 years ago might have noticed the supernova event that destroyed the pillars as an unusually bright star in the sky. How did the light from the supernova reach earth 1-2,000 years ago, but we still can't see the damage the same event wrought?

They wouldn't be slow motion is we were right there, and that has not5hing to do with the time it takes for the light to get here. It is the immense scale of the events that makes them appear slow.

The pillars are already gone, I take it, so it's too late to do anything about it.

Al Gore's going to fix that with universal broadband for stellar light transmissions.

The shock wave travels much slower than the light from the same event. Notice when a bomb/fireworks/lightning goes off, the light from the event is seen before the shock wave/sound hits.

Didn't Al invent the four pillars? And didn't Joh Carry vote for the four pillars before he voted against them?

The helium and stuff from the supernova traveled at sublight speeds.
