> Once lord Buddha pointed at a glistening star and asked a monk, "Do you believe that star still exists where we can see it?" > > The monk answered yes. > > Then lord Buddha said, "You are wrong. That star was destroyed few years ago. What we can see is the light it has emitted." I saw people sharing something like this in social networks saying lord Buddha knew many things about the universe thousands of years ago. But they dont reference to any Sutta or Atuwa or anything where I can find this. I want to know if this is true ? Has lord Buddha ever said something like this ? And which Sutta is it ? Thanks :)
