Cool animation, it's amazing how far it goes in the other direction as well.
What also boggles the mind is that while there are between 10^22 to 10^24 stars in the observable universe, the average human body consists of about a thousand times more atoms then their are stars, about 10^27. That kinda puts the hope of building a transporter capable of transporting a human on the backburner...
The speed of light really is a bit of a bummer. We can only peer into the past with our current observation methods. Even if there is an alien civilization looking from only a couple thousand light years away, there wouldn't be much to detect on earth from that distance. Finding evidence of stellar engineering is an enormous task as well with the amount of stars to look at.
At least there's still plenty of time to find them before the universe turns dark http://www.futuretimeline.net/beyond.htm
Apparently we still have a billion years before the sun grows too hot to support liquid water on earth, that's a little over 4 laps around the galaxy before we have no choice but to move. Manjana.
