Sitting at the table in the bedroom, enjoying the warmth from that fusion reaction taking place eight and third minutes away. That is the time the heat takes to get here. So much nearer are the sounds of the bells whose vibrations are transmitted through the air. It is slower, and only minutely as energetic.
The recent eclipse of the sun by the moon has shown that live on earth would only exist for a very short time should the sun fail for whatever reason.
A jet plane passes in the distance on its way to Munich airport, the sound coming in long after the machine has passed.
There will be time later on to call the mechanic to find out whether or not the car is to be repaired on time. Then a train journey of five minutes to cover a distance that takes two hours on foot.
