Thoughts & Questions About the Universe on a Beautiful Day!

A couple of years ago, I followed Einstein's belief that more is discovered about the universe by laying on a blanket under a tree on a beautiful day than ever was discovered in a laboratory.

Now, let me rush to say that this article is not about factually defending what is contained in the previous statement.  Rather, it is about considering the world around us.

Here are the questions I wrote down on that beautiful day:

• If we see planets in their past, are we not seeing the past in our present?
  
• When other planets see us (assuming life out there someplace) are they not also seeing us in the past?  If so, is our past always alive in the universe?
  
• What role does distance play in the universe or in how we see the past, present and future?
  
• If space is a void, why can it be seen?
  
• Is space the representation of the decrease in magnetism and gravity?
  
• Is matter only present in the presence of other matter?
  
• Are we always present in the past?
  
• Do we die in part because our magnetic/gravitational presence changes over time and our matter in the presence of other matter decreases and we fail to maintain our "space" and proportional representation in the magnetic state?
  

Let me know what you think and if you know of answers to these questions, please send them along.

Have a beautiful day!
