If yout ravel deep space and stare earth on a telescope u will observe Titanic for real and record it ? fact?

Question

For examples ONLY.

Let say you are 13 years away from planet earth. You looking at earth on a giant telescope and can see people and cars and cities... Will the image be so precices and so clear like watching HD content or will the image be some what distortion and fuzzy ?

Can it also see real life what it was year 2000 which was 13 years ago? lets say you want to see what peolple was doing as u look into the expensive telescope.. will the image be so precies that you could even follow someone walking down the street as you look into a expensive giant telescope or will the person walking down the street becomes distortion and disapears from your clear image on the telescope ?

I mean its so strange that this can really truelly happening if its really a posible thing.
If its so precicies then your pretty much watching (back in time) on planet earth and you could observed someone for hours on end from 13 light years away. But for me this is like wow.... i mean what would the image look like aniways.. would it be like looking at it so clean and clear or distortion and somehow the image disapears ?

I mean if this is true.... then this is a very nice idea because oneday in the future with technology if PEOPLE want to find out what happen when TITANIC collaps and how it fell into the sea... then if we had the technology to be right now some what 100 years ago you could look what 1912 earth was like and observed for hours of titanic traveling intot he atlantic ocean and film it virtually on a telescope. and make news of it. And then history will be done and then we would then know what happen to titanic for real.

All that is posible ? I mean you say the far you go the event you see.. You can choose how far you wish to go into deep space and then choose the year to in which to observe planet earth as it was in that particular year.

True of Fiction ?

One day people will see for real and recorded how titanic fell and happen moments before the tradegy.  U will see it if you go into deep space and then stare pint point the place u want to stare at of earth.. True ? then if so... that be real NEWS.

One day it will be NEWS we can show you video virtually what happen to titanic moments before tradegy happen.  But this technology well... it all depends when nasa wakes up and travel into space and do this project for life. It will happen but depends when.

No. That is a piece of bunk! First off the Titanic sunk nearly 101 years ago. Even if you could travel at the speed of light - which is physically impossible - and left today, after traveling for a 101 years you could only see the light that left the earth as you departed. The Titanic would still be 101 years in the past for you.
2. Since physical objects get smaller the farther away you are from them, at 101 light years from here the Sun would be a tiny pinpoint of light. You wouldn't see the planet Earth at all just like exoplanet hunters can't actually see Gliese g either. You would need a phenomenal telescope to even see the continent of Asia! 
3. The Titanic sunk at around midnight which means there wasn't very much light lighting up the ship besides the ship's lighting in the first place. Even the unidentified ship that was within sight on the horizon failed to even see the distress flares the Titantic let off. If the sailors on that ship didn't even see nothing, what makes you think you could see those flares from 101 light years away?
4. Since the Titanic sunk around midnight then that portion of the earth was directly opposite the Sun. If you were looking out in space then  you have the Earth directly in front of the Sun!  So you would be looking for a ship sinking in the dark of night directly in front of the blinding light of the Sun!

Your correct in your thinking.  The light coming off the titanic sinking is out in space travelling away from Earth at light speed.  If you could somehow jump to a point ahead of the light you could use a powerful telescope and watch the titanic sink.  This is all fiction though, for several reasons.

Wormholes to make the jump don't exist yet and a telescope that can block out our suns light so you could see the planets surface does exist. I don't see either of these happening in my or your life time if ever.

Due to the limits of optical resolution, the telescope would have to be thousands of km across. The telescopes we have can't see objects as small as people or cars upon the face of the Moon.

It would also require faster than light travel to implement... which might not ever occur.

Faesson · Answer

Technically true.  Still, ironically, the technology will never be developed.

Tom S · Answer

No, anything with mass can not go as fast or faster than light.

Complete amd utter nonsense.  I'm not wasting any more time on this rubbish.
