Astronomers have long believed that the universe is teeming with planetary systems, some of which may contain worlds inhabited by intelligent life. Yet they have been hard-pressed to prove their case. Interstellar distances are so vast that even the most powerful telescopes on earth could not spot a planet orbiting the sun's nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, which is a relatively scant 4.3 light-years (or about 26 trillion miles) away...

One illustration we always took to prove this general theory was the tremendous telescoping of time, how our brothers and sisters who were in high school we could hardly recognize; when they came to college, they were going to take the whole place over. And I think that the telescoping is shown not only in the awkwardness...
