That's actually a pretty interesting thought. Assuming you had telescope powerful enough to look that far, and could travel a lightyear in a single hour, or day, or week, then you could watch history as it unfolds and see exactly what happened.
Limited only by a lack of technology. Nice theory. I like it. But isn't this just the theory of relativity?
