Message:


Because we use light to see the universe there's a large time delay for 
distant objects. The further we look the less certain we can be of what is 
there at our instantanious present.  Is it possible to know  what the 
present looks like in futher regions of space, or is this another 
circumstance of the uncertainty principle?
