Indeed
With respect to your other excellent points...
Something like a third of what we see in the night time sky isn't there anymore, while at the same time, there's just as much else that is but won't become visible from here for anywhere from another hundred to another million years.
Here's something else to ponder...
According to Einstein, if you travel fast enough, you go back in time. So, I suppose it's at least theoretically possible to visit those points of light in the sky that aren't there anymore, if your spaceship travels fast enough. Of course, once you return home from such a trip they'll be nobody to tell about it... because home won't be there yet.
Hey, who needs chemicals when you can twist your mind talking about this shit.
