Stellar Distances, Light-Year Visibility Logic
A critique of stellar distances focuses on the visibility of stars said to be trillions of miles away. The logic suggests that if the sun's size reduces significantly with distance, it should disappear from view long before reaching the distance of a light-year. The sheer number of visible stars is presented as a discrepancy against the claimed vastness of space.
