I was informed this morning that this was all bullshit. That none of it makes sense, and it has to be made up.
I was told that we don't have any proof that the stars aren't actually in the sky, that it's impossible to know how far away they really are.
Even got to the point that I was told we can't measure speed, and that distance is unknowable without having first been to the point of origin.
Using simple math and an example of driving a car down the block to explain the concept of measurement, and that we could in fact measure the speed at which things travel... I was then told it doesn't matter anyway because in 100 years scientists will just "change speed and distance to make up more stuff".
This was a "straight A student"... and the mother of my child...
All because I was excited and shared this with her this morning.
If the communication eng here that's sad, but there's possibility to learn thing with her?
You could look a documentory or read stuff and share? If she want.
