the 8 minutes you say is how long it takes the earth to see the light
its the same thing as what we were talking about earlier.
if someone went near the speed of light
it would take him 4 years blah blah,
but it would take the years 50 years, for example

same thing for the ray of light
except it goes @ the speed of light, not a speed NEAR the speed of light. so instead of taking it 4 years (in the example) it would take him 0 seconds
Not true.
if it takes 8minutes for light to get here, thats how long it takes. if the sun explodes, it will take 8 minutes for us to see it.
