What's Happening in the Universe Right Now?

He was right, Enterprise was a useless waste of good Treking time. Now if it was shown on a world 6 billion ly away; would that mean it was something in a distant past that we would never have to see again or something in our future which we should dread?

Thank you for this episode. I love pondering this very question and have posed it to my cosmologically-oriented friends. It particularly struck me as the increasingly-detailed (and distant) examinations of the Deep Field have been made available. I wondered what the points of light and early galaxies ACTUALLY looked like, RIGHT NOW (our POV). The now is a continuity in my mind, transcending time and distance...if there are sentient beings orbiting around a star in those billions-of-years-old objects, they are in a 'there' that looks different from what we are seeing in the Deep Field images. But, and it's a big but, there is a huge likelihood that from their POV, the asteroid that wiped out the munching dinosaurs, may have just happened, in terms of light and distance traveled. In NOW, their perceptions and ours are simultaneous. OK, make any sense?
