View submission: What was this object
BF graduated HS in 1990. Asked him to tape an episode of Star Trek NG (So decades ago this happened)
He decide he wanted to watch the show with me. He started getting angry about all this made up science shit. But the thing he lost his mind over was they saying something was x light years away.
That light is instant and they made that up and why don’t they just use miles. Tried explaining that the light we see from stars is light that happened a very very long time ago. And that in fact that light source (a Sun) might have already burned out of existence 20,000 years ago and we would not see it for a long long time. Like he got really mad and was throwing things saying I was just lying and trying to make him look dumb. Said I was just pretending to be smart. That it was all lies!
Got an apology many many years later. But he still doesn’t trust science. Gave up trying to explain theory vs fact to him also.
There's nothing here!
