So lets say you have a telescope, binoculars, microscope, w/e. Light enters and gets refracted, reflected a couple of times or whatever. Now lets say you have thousands of micro mirrors perfectly aligned so that it causes the rays of light to bounce around for about 15 minutes. After they finally finish bouncing off mirrors in the device, it now exits the device. If you looked at it at this time you would see 15 minutes into the past right.

Oh dear... you people have failed simple physics... I fear that the sun is aproxamatly 149600000 km, meaning it takes 8 minutes NOT years for the light to reach us.... with the speed of light being 299,792,458 metres per second through a vaccum.
And it's warm because it's surface temprature is 5785 Kelvin (that's 8520 *C). Though intrestingly you'd freeze to eath not burst into flames if you were thrown out of an air-lock... No I don't understand that one either... it's somthing to do with the fact your still in a vaccum.
