I had a post on another thread, and I came to the Epiphany that if we teleported 65 million light years away from earth, we could conceivably look back on it with a powerful telescope and see dinosaurs walking around.
if that is true, then we could also go out 5.5+/- billion years and watch as the earth formed. the only problem would be that the formation would be happening in real time, and im sure it took well over a couple hundred million years for the earth to take shape.
I just think it would be amazing to watch as the moon was formed, especially if it was formed from an earth collision, which I think most people believe.
I mean, any event in history could be re-watched if you could make it to the right place.
is that way off basis? what would you want to watch?
Peace.

That's beautiful
The issue with this is, the light would have to be unmolested for the duration of its travels for it to still exist as a record of what happened. Passing through dust clouds, or even the very fine amount of gasses that exist in space, would warp and absorb the light, making what does remain a somewhat faded, blurry record.

I think that its impossible to time travel back in the past, since it would create another universe if some one did that, since it would change everything
but to time travel to the future, I think its possible, since if you travel at a higher speed like speed of light, you would be able to advance without losing any age or perceiving the time pass
the problem with all that is that, maybe, we live in a simulated world, so, it could be possible to travel back, but that would create another universe, because, I cant believe that when someone change the timeline, it would change everything ...

I think you would have to travel 65 mill. away at .125 light speed and return from 65 mill. away at 2 times light speed then you would see the past. You have to travel back multiple times faster then you went friend. Comming back @ 1/16 the time you traveled out. lol possible it is...or is it

you could speed up the process as to watching the ancient events happen.. by traveling towards earth at varying speed.. you could fast forward then slow it down..
.. the reflected light of what you're observing that is...

First of all when you teleport, in quantum physics, it is not "You" that is teleported, remember when you teleport, the information in the original object is lost. What is teleported is an exact copy of you. It is not you. So you may be destroyed in the process of teleporting. So if you are not there, then where is the question of you seeing anything?
Today's guest on the Morning Media Menu was Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California. His research covers theoretical aspects of cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. On the show, he discussed his new book, From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time. Conversation topics included: the daily life of a theoretical physicist, science in movies and books, and Lost predictions.

totally makes since, however, it wouldnt really be time travel. if you could instantaneously teleport to the right place, relative to this exact moment in time, it will still be the same time, but you will be so far away, 65 million light years is like 7234568374568347603895760398476035876.2 miles away) but the nature of light and how it moves and reflects would give the impression that you went back in time, but it would simply be the photons from older earth viewed "today" relative to current earth time.
