If it's good enough for Star Trek, it's good enough for popular science (SciPop). Besides, if you've seen it in a Star Trek episode you already believe it's true. Slam dunk.
Inductive Reductive Circular Reasoning
Supposedly, distant stellar objects are so large that they have to be very far away. Either that or they're so far away that they have to be very large. It's a phenomenon we call the geometry of despair.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The theme of reduce, reuse, recycle comes from observing the intricate way in which the assorted premises of popular science (SciPop) have been woven into a system of inductive, reductive circular reasoning.
DPMS – Axiom II
The human race has rejected empirical observations in favor of theoretical assumptions: IF you were on the Sun you'd be observing heliocentricity, SINCE you're not, you're on the Earth, you're observing Geocentrosphericity.
Stellar Spectroscopy
Stellar spectroscopy conveniently ignores the possibility that stars are reflecting sunlight and incorporates itself into one of the most intricate examples of circular reasoning ever devised. Circular reasoning is a problem in science where people make up fiction that suits their narrative, then use the fiction to rationalize more fiction. A good example is heliocentricity. …

Assuming Heliocentricity changes geometry in a way that makes it seem as if the stars are further away than they really are. As such, we have not measured the distance to the stars.

There's no need to speculate the existence of black holes or dark matter. The missing mass of the universe is the firmament.
April 7th
The earth is at the center of the observable universe. This is an empirical observation. Heliocentricity is not observed, it is theoretical. Oddly enough, people today simply cannot grasp this concept.
April 6th
Assuming heliocentricity (Galileo’s bluff) causes the calculated distance to stars to seem greater than it is, because it’s derived from geometry with a base which is 2 astronomic units (AU) wide.
Stellar Parallax
Stellar parallax is used to "verify" that the Earth is moving but it's dependent upon the A priori assumption that the Earth is moving. In case you weren't sure, that's circular reasoning.
