What Earth Would Look Like From Andromeda

Cosmic distances are a lot bigger than they may seem, and light has to cross that path in order for us to see stars and everything. Here i explain what would our planet look like from Andromeda and how big would the mirror of the telescope need to be.

The idea for the video was given by Der Tery (through a comment).

Footage gathered through a space simulation: Space Engine.

Music: Atlantis - Audionautix

So maybe we already found planets that host life... but we're looking at their past where life didn't exist yet. Could that be possible?

"60, 000 km/h"
American: "what?"
"45x faster than a bullet"
American: "aaah..."

It's heartening to know that I'll live on forever somewhere in this universe.

[NASSHU]

The fact that people from thousand years ago still exist somewhere in the universe is mind-blowing

[goodbadhigh]

So that would mean that out there somewhere, a “image” of the dinosaurs is travelling through space.

If the sun suddenly disappeared, we wouldn’t know for eight minutes

[wellshoot]

It blows my mind to think that every moment in history is effectively preserved in light somewhere off in the universe, even from other planets and star systems.

[PalmarPaladin]

"Is that a galaxy?"
"No its a telescope"

[riewastaken]

So you're saying that i been lagging my whole life??

[choppy]

So... if the universe is infinite, the light of my existence will always exist.

That's kinda cool, I guess.

Alien observer pointing to earth : " Well it's just a big ocean planet with no life, let's point on the next one"

It's so weird that when we look at the sky we see stars that no longer exist. The enormous distances between objects in the universe has always fascinate me.

If your on Mars you see earth 14 minutes in the past, so if you can some how teleport to mars and look at earth with a powerful telescope you can see your self getting ready to teleport

Holly crap thanks for all the likes everyone!
I have a another mind boggling comment I made on a butterfly effect video hope y’all enjoy it!


“Wait so time traveling to the past is impossible BUT traveling to the future is technically possible (time dilation) so according to the butterfly effect the future is not set (it’s random) so how are you going to time travel to the future if there is no future set? What will happen? will you create a completely new future and if that’s the case does that mean you created life a new universe based on the time traveling action, but what will happen to your original universe, will branch out and create a different future?”

[Did.You.Forget]

This helped give me peace of mind about my brother that passed. His light is still out there but at some point it will fade. At some distances he doesn’t even exist yet. Beautiful.

[Drawmatic]

Imagine an alien 200, 000, 000 light years away seeing Pangea on Earth, traveling to see us, and seeing it in several pieces.

Andromeda Aliens: Finally we found an inhabitable planet

*Comes to Earth*

Nevermind it's ruined

[dyslexicbatnam]

Looking into space is the closest you can get to time traveling...

[Bighoodiekid]

So technically everything and everyone still exists, it just depends on where you look?
