JWST, infrared technologies for time and distance…

Infrared tech to look into time

How far away is an object emitting life you can see how that works on your street. The light you are approaching will be one color and another as you move away. To experiment you will need to run backward at night from a street light watching its hue and the same thing running toward it, either red or blue. We will not tell you which! You can figure that out, however, the distance will be discernable by the intensity of the color hue. and the time of hue will be different at each distance giving you a sense of how long ago it was emitted.

Have a good story the neighbors or police.
