Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

We observe an object travelling towards the Earth that is 1ly away . The object is travelling at 0.5c towards us.

The object takes 2ly to arrive, if we were seeing that object in the past, it would not arrive in 2ly, proving ''you'' are full of beans and are incompetent at ''your'' job.

if it is 1 ly away from Earth and moving at .5c, then it will take 2 years (not light years) to get to the Earth. The *light* from it will take 1 year to get to the Earth. So, we won't *see* it until a year has passed. At that point (in one year), we will see it as it is *now*, which is one year in the past at that point.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
this question....
That's not what you said here:

The topic title is the question

But OK.

Two photons are emitted simultaneously the opposite directions from two points precisely 1ly apart.

The clock starts at 00:00:00

Adam is on the left and Alice is on the right

When does Adam see Alice?

When does Alice see Adam?

Realisation is acceptance of the truths.

They see each other at the exact same time........
Um... your question doesn't make a lot of sense. Are Adam and Alice the names of the photons?

That's how I understand it...

Yes. I did. Watch, I'll even do it again;

"all vision is in the past, as light requires time to travel from it's object to our eyes."
No, you are repeating present information which I am showing you is incorrect , ignoring what I am showing you . Answer the question or it will become a circular argument which you are making by supposing something cannot be ostensible.

Dude. YOU SAID "the question is in the topic" I ANSWERED the question in the topic. If that wasn't the question you wanted answered, that's YOUR mistake, not mine. Your Adam and Alice "question" doesn't even make sense.

Inwards pressure is 0, what about the created outward pressure?

A plastic bottle will crush in example.
What the heck are you even talking about? Are you trying to discuss universal expansion? because... it's beyond infinitesimally insignificant in volumes like bottle sizes. Hubble's constant is 67km/sec per every million parsecs, IIRC. Is that the "outward pressure" you mean?

No dude, you are ignoring the question and repeating an answer from your memory , not even thinking about the question with your own cognitive freedom.
The question is simple and plainly written, it is not nonsense at all , a child could understand it.

it is crushed by the pressure of the air outside of it (actually the difference of the pressure inside and that outside). If that bottle was in space and empty, it would not be crushed.

OK, genius. Tell us YOUR answer to "the question", please?

You are answering from memory and not thinking sorry . Being Ai and not thinking on your own accord. Repeating artificial ''programming'' from your education.
