It just occurred to me that time and distance are two sides of the same force or tool for looking at reality and what that actually means. On the premise that distance is time. The universe is expanding. That means we are never in the same "place" as we were moment to moment but the energy we give off radiates and is left behind. In a way the past has its own space everywhere in space. We see that as we get bigger and bigger telescopes. We are seeing a reflection of the sky in whatever state it was in when that past light gets to us. The past is replaying to us in every direction for all time at light speed. Is this a flawed way of trying to conceptualize the relationship between distance and time?
