If the craft was to teleport back to earth they would arive in the year 0 in the hologram
unfortunatly not, you are in the year 2013... 2013 light years from earth, teleporting back would mean you are in the year 2013.... 0 light years from earth.(unless you somehow went from real... looking at a hologram to suddenly being a hologram?)
instead you would have to teleport 2013 light years away from earth and set up a quantumly coupled telescope(with earth) pointing back at earth viewing light from 0 and broadcasting now.....
On another note, i believe the entire observable universe exists within the singularty of a black hole, explaining dark energy/matter is simply energy/matter pulled into the black hole and thus becoming part of our universe from the 'outerverse'.
Also aliens are either other planets of us formed millions of years ago with more evolved humans or literally us, more evolved, in the future, invented time-travel... came back, seeded their planet to make them...
