I can do some calculations and tell you how big the aperture of any telescope that can theoretically resolve a T. rex, or the image of one On a Samsung, 32.5 million light years away, would need to be, but that's another story.
So to confirm I'm not Completely retarded, this other planet needed to have started this experiment 32.5m years ago?
Yes.
Btw, a telescope that can theoretically resolve a t-Rex from 32.5 million light years away, based on Rayleigh criteria, needs an aperture 2 light years across.
Technically, three smaller telescopes arranged at the points of symmetrical Y, with each straight line in the Y being 1 light year long, would also do the trick. You just have to get the photons they capture together in one place to determine how they interfere.
