This reminds me of a Star Trek episode where they met an alien who was dressed in a military uniform from the Napoleon era. It was what he saw in the light rays coming from earth. When a ship with warp drive came to his planetary doorstep, it caught him by surprise that we don't dress like that anymore.
You would have to make those observations from at least three different directions. From any one direction there would be much of the time when you would not see the relevant Earth surface in daytime.
Oh yeah absolutely And I’m sure I’m leaving out many details here knowingly or unknowingly but the idea itself should be possible if we figure out all the details. I also know how important details are because I’ve been working in IT and computer science for over 25 years so when something is pushed out to 30,000 computers you have to think of all possible details and circumstances to make sure something is 100% successful.
But I’m thinking of What would God have in store for this scenario?
Would Jesus look at the camera when we observe Him from 2000 light years away to let us know that “I know what you’re doing”? Or would He know and pretend to not let us (the observer) know?
I mean this is also related to the double slit experiment which is the biggest mystery in quantum mechanics. Or how quantum entanglement works.
When I discuss the idea with my other Christian friends of how lucky people were when they lived in the time of Jesus they don‘t seem to like this idea so much. And yes I know that Jesus said “blessed are those who have seen and believe in me but even more blessed are those who haven’t seen me and believe in me”.
But for me this is a sort of a primal need to touch my Creator and kiss His hands and wash His feet. I mean can you imagine being alive when Jesus was here? This to me is so existential that I can’t even describe it.
‘I mean people back then had God among them and didn’t even realize it or appreciate it despite all the miracles.
‘So this need would be satisfied a bit if I’m able to watch Him from afar … 2000 light years away.
