The Distant Past setting refers to a historical period in the far past, often thousands or millions of years ago, characterized by primitive human societies, early civilizations, or even prehistoric eras. This setting is popular in fiction and storytelling to explore themes of ancient cultures, lost civilizations, and the evolution of human society.

What are the observations that tell us that the universe is changing?

Mainly that galaxies that are very far away (i.e., from the distant past) look different to galaxies that are near-by (from the more recent past).


Do distant galaxies rise and set like the stars in your sky?

Distant galaxies do not rise and set like stars in the sky. Their positions in the sky are fixed relative to our perspective on Earth. The apparent motion of rising and setting is a phenomenon caused by the rotation of our planet.


Did earthquake activity affect earth in the distant past?

Yes, earthquake activity has affected Earth in the distant past. Over millions of years, earthquakes have shaped the Earth's surface by creating mountains, shifting continents, and causing tsunamis. Studying the geological record helps us understand how earthquakes have influenced the planet's history.


How much water the world used daily in the distant past compared to now?

In the distant past, the global water usage was significantly lower compared to current levels due to lower population and industrial activities. As populations and industries have grown, water usage has increased substantially over time, leading to a higher overall water demand in the present day.


Views in space are of the distant past?

Not necessarily the 'distant' past. For example, your view of the sun reveals it as it was about 8 minutes ago, of the moon as it was only about 1-1/2 seconds ago, and of a person across the street as he was about 0.00000005 second ago.
