Maybe the following has relevance in some way I've not quite connected, but as a correspodung tangent: I've been thinking along a line of how scientists are able to think beyond our own life existence -- into stars whose light now reaching us has burned out at the source, or into a future when human life may no longer -- when, for example, our Sun burns out, or when our own planet changes in such a way as to no longer support life. It is intersting how our minds travel beyond it's own time. Even in conceiving of one's own grandparents' childhoods -- the mind travels in various time zones other than it's present.
