To describe the solid state using computer code, you would need to include terms that describe the geometry of the lattice, the intermolecular distances, the precise configuration of

  • This looking-back-in-time effect is only noticeable when we look into space, and even then, we need the massive distances of deep space objects for it to be impactful. For example, the Moon is our closest astronomical neighbor, yet it is about 384,000 km away, which is equivalent to 1.3 light seconds. This means that we see the Moon as it was 1.3 seconds ago. The Sun is about 8 light minutes away, so we see sunlight eight whole minutes after it leaves the Sun.

  • So let's take a look at what that would really mean and how large these distances are. Remember that a light-year is a unit of distance, not time. It corresponds to the distance light travels in an entire year—about 9.46 trillion km or 5.88 trillion miles. The fact that we're talking about millions of light-years here gives you a sense of how big these distances really are and how far away you'd need to be to see dinosaurs right now.

  • In order to get to these gargantuan distances, let's move from the Earth outwards and think about how they would be viewing the Earth if they hosted life.
