As soon as it looks away, we will cease to exist.

Interesting. When Einstein postulated that gravity might act as a lens, nobody thought it would ever be observed.

I have been told the Hubble telescope can be turned around to view the earth. Any of you engineers can confirm or deny?

I'm certain that it can be turned to face the Earth. I'm equally certain that it would be considered a waste of resource and time so they won't do that.

Yea. Mars. It's the only planet we know of that is populated. Although it is populated by a Robot. I'm sure it's looking back at us.

Could it be highly possible and probable that we, and earth, are some massive alien society's "Reality Show"?
