Not so quick. Think about it again. No presumption of "seeing into the future". The author has a valid point.

if this is true, then by turing 90 degrees, you can see a 10 billion year old galaxy in real time. Your local direction is not a determinate as to which way light is flowing.

look at this less as a vantage point from a car on a road versus other cars, but rather as standing on the top of a mountain marvelling at how far below you things are.

the 10 billion year old light reaching earth from a galaxy that far away is from the past. it has to be since it reaches us. I suppose if you wait, you can catch more recent light waves, but that takes real patience:-).

(OK, so I'm a spoil sport.(sigh!))
