Since suns die and go out' date=' would there be light in every direction? Or would the light be appearing and disappearing in time with the life cycles of the suns?

I think 'derailing for curiosity's sake' is otherwise a category of what is called 'off topic', though I'm new to the on-line internet and its procedures and vocabularies for various conditions. Your's may or not be 'hi-jacking', also?

 

Anyway, in flow-going response to the above JohnB introduced apparent departures from (if not unrestrained 'hi-jacking'?) topic:

 

Initial response to your (cavalierly unrestrained, binary) question(s) is, that they are both inadvertant or prefabricated self-answering (- perhaps cerebrally syntax misfired <if not moribund, immortally supernova eclipsed> anachronisms), i.e., go figure yourself as a properly computed original tinker.

 

Kindly refer to 'Olber's paradox' (Wikepedia, or, Google), which isn't a paradox at all, and the reasons why. Also has to do with a popularly misunderstood fact of the absolute velocity of light, and its relatively variant speeds, relative to the coordinate system from which it originates, and that from which it is observed and measured.

 

Another cogency regarding your would-be stump-jumping riddle, is:

 

When a flashlight is turned on, it commences a stream of beam, having a light frontal that corresponds with the moment the flashlight is turned on. When the flashlight is turned off. It discontinues that beam. The interval of light between the moment it's projected, to the moment it's discontinued, constitutes the containment of your departure from cognition, and your entrance into vain pursuit of the self-revealed, obvious resolution.

 

Sort of like a linear straight line party streamer and all other considerations having a beginning and an end, such as this answer to what you might otherwise consider your interminably unfathomable interrogative?

 

(Q. Have you, or some unit of your parametrically plummeting, parsec-paced genus, addressed this record before <Refer: in the past, that is, at the intersection of this pizza pie shaped - /\ - representation of - Past, Present & Future - A,B,C, expansion; with the 'beginning', or 'Past' [A] at the intersecting top of the tent-shaped expanding lines; the 'Present' [such as the horizontal line in the letter A] - or infinite Future [C] - at the ending of the wedge shaped, metaphorical portion of omnidirectional motion from a commonly intersected center of a source of light - the big bangologist gang mass hypnosis, comparatively considered with the illustrated Archimedes geometrical troika expression of Italian quisine? And, if so: are you brokering something <perhaps some esoteric or cryptic conveyance> or merely slicing an unordered - freebie - pepperoni & mozzarella cheese?)

 

 

Thank you for reading the preceding missive, and this one; your best reactionary efforts (dede jaja vuvu), and, your altogether appropriate, closing motto.

 

May we remain contiguous with the proposed thread, now (or dost thou still hunger for some more artificially nurtrified, fortified sustenance from the evoked, slap-sticking Bard)?

 

 

Sincerely,

K.B. Robertson

reply

I temporaily left this site and was on another. Sorry about the belated reply.

 

As I have said above in the SSU article, stars and galaxies would go through life cycles. Yes, if you could observe over extended periods of time. Stars would be appearing and disappearing but this would be over billions of years.

 

The sky appears dark because our senses are capable of seeing in the visible light spectrum only. The distant objects have 'redshifted' into the infra red.

Those objects can be seen with equipment designed for theiir visibility.

This explains the Olbers Paradox of a dark sky.
