no, now we are seeing what's going on there 1,400 years ago because the planet is 1,400 light years away from us and from "their" perspective Earth is in 600AD now, so if you put the people on the spaceship and it will gain the speed of light so for these people it will "only" take ~70 years to reach that planet, this stuff is blowing my mind, it's all about perspective
Just think about it - if you are on that ship and you've traveled for "only" ~70 years to that planet to explore the new world and maybe alien life but at the same time your own planet became alien world for yourself too because if you will travel back it will mean that you wasn't at home for 2,800 years.........jeez
So, that planet is
It's the smallest exoplanet discovered to date discovered orbiting in the habitable zone of a G2-class star, just like the Earth and the Sun.
Kepler-452b is 60 percent larger in diameter than Earth and is considered a super-Earth-size planet.
It's likely rocky.
While Kepler-452b is larger than Earth, its 385-day orbit is only 5 percent longer.
The planet is 5 percent farther from its parent star Kepler-452 than Earth is from the Sun.
Kepler-452 is 6 billion years old, 1.5 billion years older than our sun, has the same temperature, and is 20 percent brighter and has a diameter 10 percent larger.
The Kepler-452 system is located 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.
They also said that the planet is likely to have lots of clouds and possibly active volcanoes
They also said that it receives about 10% more energy than the earth does because of the proximity and age of the nearby star, I think this would mean it would have a little bit of a higher temperature
Also since it is 6 billion years old there is way more time than we have had on Earth for life to have developed given the chance

Whether it be debt or equity financing, or garnering a loan from a local bank to start a business, capital is always the lifeblood of an operation. Obviously you know that.
If you meant that some of the investment banks serve no true purpose other than siphoning off interest as an intermediary, then I would agree in many cases. Derivative products of packaged debt several times over only socializes the risk to the overall economy in many cases, which we have already seen through mortgage-backed d's. But that is more of a function of central bank and government idiocy.
