Yes, things arrive here. We THEN see them in time here. Our time and space. So, for example if light here moves at x speed in our time and spae, we know that. Now, how fast does it move in deep space, do you know? Remember you may not use anything in our time and solar system area where WE see the light as a basis for claiming time related issues ut in far space.

That does not address anything outside the area of the solar system and earth actually. Try again.
No probe has even gotten on light day away yet.

Re: Separate school and state and religion
Supernovae that are fifty million light years away show light curves just like those of nearby supernovae. All of these can be modeled using the radioactive decay of cobalt-60. It decays at the same rate there as it does on Earth. So time is the same as far as we can see.
You are making things up, creation. Silly things.

There's no reason to try again. I and others have already explained how we know that the laws of nature are the same everywhere we look in the universe.
But regarding your specific and erroneous claim that we only see things from here, I provided the example of space probes that can see things from as far away as outside the boundaries of the solar system (Voyager 1 left the solar system in August of 2012).
No probe has even gotten on light day away yet.
True - so what? Voyager 1 is about .7 of a light day away. Is a light day your threshold? If a probe reaches a distance of a light day from the sun and still perceives things out there as being the same as here, will that settle it for you? Because in about 15 years Voyager 1 will be about a light day away.

Re: Separate school and state and religion
What is in the fishbowl of earth and the solar system area is not relevant to what time is like is deep space.
But if what explains what is happening in deep space also, without modification, explains what is going on in the 'fishbowl' - that constitutes a very strong reason to suppose the fishbowl and deep space are part of the same nature. Without any reason at all to suppose otherwise - that's the scientific conclusion and that's why it should be taught where appropriate - your made-up rules and baseless repeated opining notwithstanding.

Because we need reason to claim it is so. You have none. So we don't know. That means you can't claim time is a certain way there.

No. You have not even addressed what time is like in the far universe. That can't be done by simply noting what it is like here, in the light we see here in time here.
But regarding your specific and erroneous claim that we only see things from here, I provided the example of space probes that can see things from as far away as outside the boundaries of the solar system (Voyager 1 left the solar system in August of 2012).
It was not erroneous. By here I refer to the solar system and area. The probe is still less than a light day away. It is still here.
True - so what? Voyager 1 is about .7 of a light day away. Is a light day your threshold? If a probe reaches a distance of a light day from the sun and still perceives things out there as being the same as here, will that settle it for you? Because in about 15 years Voyager 1 will be about a light day away.
--Percy
What is known is my threshold. You may speak only of what it is like where it is known, and that is, as you say, .7 of one light day away at the moment. If you want to speak of a whole light day, come back in 15 years!

This is a science thread, so let's stick to science.
There's a very large amount of evidence that tells us that things work the same way elsewhere as they do here. You've been shown some of it. Additionally, despite looking with everything we have, we've found nothing to contradict that.
The supported hypothesis therefore is that stuff happens the same way everywhere. So sure, it must remain possible that stuff is different elsewhere, but until there's any evidence at all that that's the case, the hypothesis stands.
You're objections are irrational and religious. Come back when you have a case.

We've provided you evidence and rationale and you've responded with nothing but denial. As Tangle notes, it isn't impossible that we're wrong, but so far all the evidence points in one direction, that the laws of nature are the same throughout the universe across all time at least as far back as the Big Bang.

No. You have not even addressed what time is like in the far universe.
But we have. The explanations you've requested have been provided, explanations that anyone can see in these threads, and your denials don't change that.
That can't be done by simply noting what it is like here, in the light we see here in time here.
Why do you think it can't be done? Light arrives here from anything that emits light, which includes objects at great distances, such as moons, planets, stars and galaxies. That light can be analyzed, and it tells us that the laws of nature out there are the same as here.
True - so what? Voyager 1 is about .7 of a light day away. Is a light day your threshold? If a probe reaches a distance of a light day from the sun and still perceives things out there as being the same as here, will that settle it for you? Because in about 15 years Voyager 1 will be about a light day away.

Well, you're certainly consistent with the history of religion, where their claims of what is true of the real world continuously shrink as scientific knowledge increases. So your threshold today is .7 light days, and in 15 years it will be 1 light day, and a hundred years later it will be 2 light days, then 3, then 4. Of course, not to worry, Voyager 1's plutonium power source is running down and will be dead long before that, and your descendants can continue claiming, "Nope, nope, nope, one light day, that's it, further away you know nothing. That light arriving from distant stars tells us nothing. Amen."

Unless time existed out there also as here, no distances are known actually. Stop preaching what you do not know.
