It has probably supernovaed or turned into a black hole billions of years ago. We have no way of knowing.

Unless we are , by means of sympathetic, sub-atomic physics, not yet understood, actually seeing a replication of the object as it is NOW. GD

But you know as well as I, we are not.


I know or at least I think I know! This is the one argument I have with the expanding universe theory. When it is said that more distant objects are moving away faster, the evidence only says they WERE moving away faster. We don't know what in hell they are doing NOW. These are things which are fun to contemplate. Kind of a physics and philosophy collide sort of thing! Let there always be mysteries. GD
