A Peek into our Past

What crap. I am for sure fickle minded. I came here to just browse for a while and do my usual stuff and here I am blogging. Blogging's new to me and I am seriuosly astonished how expressive one has to be to even consider creating posts. Now that Iam trying harder and harder to just somehow fill in the pages, I hope some skills hidden inside me are going to manifest themselves in my writing.
Just yesterday I was just 'discussing ' some crap about the future of the planet earth with refernce to the yet to be released Hollywood flick '2012' with my colleague. During the course of the conversation, he suddenly popped up an idea of looking into the past of the planet earth. Say if we somehow come across information (EM wave) radio or light or any form which can possibly hold some information about the status of planet 'then', then, we would be looking at the past of this planet directly (not going through the sleep inducing non medicinal drugs called history books!).
This idea is not completely new for its so apparent in the case of star gazers who receive light or EM radiations from places light years away from us thus directly giving us the window into the past of this Universe. But this probably was not thought of in the context of viewng the earth's past. yes I understand that earth's past is not so interesting to us as is the Future but still I could'nt ignore to appreciate this idea of his. And yeah I know how badly sleep inducing this post has been, but again, I am trying to fill pages!
