Here's the scenario, peacegirl. We can see a supernova through a telescope. We are, in fact, looking at it right now from Earth.
I am asking you to tell me when, exactly, that seeing is taking place in relation to the star that is in supernova right now in it's own time zone.
According to efferent vision, the spatial distance is negated...in other words we are seeing the supernova here on Earth simultaneously to it happening there at the star's location.
Is that not a correct statement based on Lessans claims, esp his example about an observer near Rigel as well as his example of the Sun exploding?

When do we see it, peacegirl, according to Lessans? I think I have correctly interpreted the examples he offers in the book, of which two were related to space/stars. If you have a different explanation of those examples, and can therefore demonstrate my wrong track, I am all ears.

Quit dodging.
I gave you a list of optics terms to research a few pages back including subtended angles and the inverse square law. Do it or don't, but quit acting like you have any clue what you are talking about.
