If the light we are viewing while looking at the stars has left the origin(guess) billions of years ago. So I propose, maybe not in anyone's lifetime the end of the transmission is following the light we are absorbing today. Is that a standing wave buffered, however variable with an end if we lived long enough?

Hi.
We may find one of these stars become a supernova tomorrow. After brightness it will cease shining.
