Are we actually pointing the Moon?

A planetary object, a galvanizing mass, a reflector and savior of the planet Earth. Yes, the moon.

Formation of moon:

There was a planet, much likely the size of our Red Planet, in between the Earth and the Mars. That planet was so close to the orbit of our green planet that a huge planetary collision occurred, about 4.5 Gya (four and a half billion years) ago in the Hadeon Eon.

This astonishing incident gave birth to a planetary mass, much smaller the Earth's size but yet a very important rock which laid the vital foundations for establishing peace in the Earth's atmosphere, climate, seasons, rotation, weather and tides. But what more astonishing was its feature that in the night sky of the Earth, there was still some glow which wasn't like a dull lamp but was like a luminous object which enabled us to see things on Earth in the night, of course, not so perfectly but yet it gave us the Romantic nights.

Pointing the moon - theory, explanation and discovery:

Well many common people will not go in deep, looking into the features of moon but scientists are really looking forward to examine the moon as deeply as they can. Well we just started thinking to add a question to your mind:

When we are pointing our finger towards the moon, are we actually pointing the moon or just the light coming from the moon? A light from an object which has changed its position in real time.

We started to discover some facts, opinions, reasons from many websites, videos and some related documentaries. And what we found out was really amazing which blew our minds away into thinking about the vastness and unimaginable mysteries of our Universe.

Here it goes! If we want to discover this phenomenon, we need to consider the values of the speed, distance and time in their SI units. The speed of light is approximately equal to 299,792,458 m/s and the distance from the observing eye on Earth to the surface of the moon is 384,400,000 m.

Note: Calculations are on the assumptions that the SI units of these values have vanished and we are left only with numerical digits for a purpose of doing a comparison. 

Consider: A, is the speed of light, and B, is the distance, are the two numbers. Therefore, the possible cases are:

1:

If A > B; this means we see things and point towards things in the actual time. For example: The value of distance between two people standing next to each other is smaller than the value of the speed of light. Many research show that in this case, we are seeing things in present time, neglecting our brain information processing speed and time.

2:

If A < B; this means we see things and point towards things in other than in its actual time which means that the pointed object is not on the spot where we are pointing but we are pointing the light which is reaching us from that object after covering a long distance. For example: the light from our Sun, researches have shown clearly that it takes around 8 min for the light from Sun to reach the planet Earth.

Isn't this thing amazing? We shall now consider the values we are discussing about:

299,792,458(value of speed of light) < 384,400,000(distance from earth to moon)

From the above equation, it is obeying the second case and the most interesting part, light takes around 1.28 seconds to reach to Earth from moon according to bbc.co.uk.

And for our question:

Are we actually pointing the moon? The answer is no, we are not.
