When you look out into the night sky, into the stars far away, you're seeing them because of the light that has traveled from them to you. Well, it takes time for light to travel here, so what you're doing is seeing the stars as they were in the past, without the time it's taken for the light to reach us. And the further and further away those stars are, the further back in time we're looking. Now, you're seeing a star that's, say, six-thousand years ago. Imagine somebody on that star looking at us. They would be seeing us as we were, six-thousand years ago. Which of those two is man?

Space and time are linked together. When we are looking across space, we are looking back in time.
