A close object with nothing behind it also has an absence of parallax. So those pics could be holograms on the surface of a bubble.

Also, if that astral body is a gazillion miles away, how are you going to get two perspectives on it to see if there is parallax or not? Even if you do that, you can't prove it's not a hologram.

Stars do show parallax, but the amount of parallax they show is consistent with the stars being much further than 1 lightyear. And "proof"? Proofs are for mathematics.

Holograms, iphone screens... what are you even on about? Are you alluding to the firmament, e.g. the idea that stars are merely dots of light painted on a surface very near to earth? Have you been reading the bible or something? Read this instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_parallax If you're going to wander off into lala land, you at least owe it to yourself to understand the theories and evidence you are casually discarding.

No, I'm using the science holography, which is realer than your galactic parallax. Even your own science can't hide all truth, look at "black holes" what's on the surface precisely before the model breaks apart and gets all woo woo? A hologram, that's what.

You believe in singularities, but want to accuse me of going bible? Please! Your black holes, heat death, and big bang are all singularities of MATH EQUATIONS, with zero evidence of being real!

Edit, in fact all those singularities are gone if you take infinity out of the equation. Infinity is also not real. Can you prove infinity is real?

So because black holes are weird, you think all stars aren't actually there and are just holograms? Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water. And anybody who disagrees with you is a marxist or something... you've completely lost it.

The church of rational science is pushing "weird black holes" like idiots at the wheel of science, but I'm the one who has it lost? What have you got for all that deep space belief? Alien scifi multiverse cartoon fantasies, dubious lunar landings, pretend martian colonization, NASA gimmick pics. Heat death and the big bangerino. I've gone and changed my own mind, please let me back into the cult.

There is always something behind a close object when you're looking into space. Because the universe exists, despite your typical flat earther denial of it.

Nice attack with that "flat earth" you're already in hell so i can't tell you anything. Everything exists just as you've proven it.
