The Light That Left Before You Were Born
Manage episode 503905798 series 3594529
Stargazing, if we’re honest, is just flipping through the universe’s backlog of outdated correspondence. Every speck of light is a cosmic memo delivered with the urgency of a sleepy postal clerk who’s just discovered black holes and lost interest in everything else. The night sky isn't showing you what's happening now—it's showing you what happened then, filed under Eventually by a universe that never learned to sort things by date.

This week, we explore the science of cosmic delay, the illusion of the present, and why the entire universe is essentially one big reply-all thread that never gets to the point.
AI Transparency: In a universe of AI-generated content, we believe in being transparent about what's human and what's not. Your time is valuable, and you deserve to know what you're experiencing. The narrator, David, is a professional voice actor who has digitized his voice through ElevenLabs' voice cloning technology and is fairly compensated for his vocal performance. Thumbnails are created with OpenArt AI, and music/sound effects come from Pixabay (which are generated by human artists). Everything else-the writing, jokes, research, sound editing, and interdimensional coffee consumption, is 100% human-made by a human.
