Following on from the previous post, I watched a video once
in which an astrophysicist explained that if all the stars out there in the
night sky were visible to us, the earth would never get fully dark because the
light emitted or reflected by them would prevent it. The reason this doesn’t
happen is because most of the suns and planets out there are too far away for
their light to have reached us yet. And that fact caused me to presume that the
early dinosaurs which they say lived between 245 and 66 million years ago would
have seen fewer stars than we do.
Why on earth this mind, swilling pointlessly about in what passes for my brain, should concern itself with such matters remains a mystery.
