The simple distinction is I see you in the position you were in 8 minutes ago. Not necessary the same position you are in when you view your present physical position in the universe present. Your not back in time just the view is from a past position of you.Light constantly takes a recording of you and sends it to me on the earth. It takes 8 minutes for the recording to reach my position.Would you suggest a recording of your image is your present when the recording is played?
m2 has moved 8 minutes out of linear vector position.
Quotem2 has moved 8 minutes out of linear vector position. Yes of course that is why we view things as contracted. This is all explained by relativity. The issues you bring up are explained. You think linear losing the abstract concepts. We view everything at an angle different from 90 degrees. The photons that are angled in a more forward position than 90 degrees intercept the Earth. That angle rotates the view. Since it is a round ball there is no contraction of view with the rotation angle.
Much things is uncertain yet, but this is clear as day, the only way this to be proof incorrect would require to find evidence that C is instantaneous/unlimited.
