Can you see the stars?

I don't have wireless, so I'm stuck inside, and all I can see through the window is... trees, flowers and grass. Already not that bad actually

Did they move the stars lately, or why do you inquire ?

 

We had some bad thunderstorms lately so I doubt I can see anything. I'm not going out to look, but I can't see stars/sun from my window.

 

Are you trying to figure out whether or not we're aware that the Sun is a star?

WHAT!!!!!! No, I thought it was a giant Planter's Cheese Puff!!!!!!!

 

I think I have that sussed

 

Yes when I look at the sun I think that I'm really seeing it. Except for the perceived size that's smaller than actual due to the sun being far away. I'm confused .

 

I think Evo cracked it. It all makes sense now.

 

By the definition of "seeing", i.e. your eyes are receiving light from the object and your brain is processing it, you do see the sun.

I am lost at where this is going??

 

Well, the theory of relativity abolishes the notion of absolute time. It is meaningless to ask about the state of a distant object "right now," as the concept of "right now" doesn't extend beyond your own frame of reference.

What if the distant star is stationary in my frame?

 

Bingo is played differently in my neighborhood.

 

The Sun is not stationary in your frame.
