he is talking bollocks...dont listen to him.

I dont know the answer to your question.

But I ask you - why do you want to know this?

Is it as I suspect that you doubt the fact that stars are as far away as is stated by science?

I would agree with this statement - stars are much closer than we PERCEIVE - that science is bollox too to a large degree on a number of subjects.

They are light years away.

In other words, just enjoy them, because you will never be able to go to one in this lifetime.

Hey look at you! Another critical thinker! :D

That is exactly what I was wondering.

Check out this interesting objection toward modern measurements of standard distances.
