Distance to the Stars

This site explains that many stars are much closer than thought (because of errors in conventional theory). 9 stars are less than 1 ly (or 1 lightyear) away. 18 more stars are between 1 and 7 ly away. Many quasars are less than 100,000 ly away.

The inner Kuiper Belt of mini-planets starts about 3 billion miles from the Sun and extends to about 5 billion miles. In the graph (dotted line) below, each dot is 50 million miles. Earth is at the second dot, nearly 100 million miles from the Sun. The outer planets are between Earth and Pluto on the graph. Pluto is the nearest mini-planet in the Kuiper Belt, about 3 billion miles from the Sun.
On the second dotted line above, each dot is 1 billion miles. The entire Kuiper Belt and scattered Disk is about 100 billion miles wide, or in radius.
On the third dotted line, each dot is 50 billion miles. The Kuiper Belt & Disk is 100 billion miles in radius, which is just two dots.
Betelgeuse is over 6,000 times closer than conventional science thinks it is. They think it’s a red giant star, but it’s actually a red dwarf. The other stars are also much closer than thought, except for Rigel Kent, i.e. Alpha Centauri, which is just a little farther away than thought. It’s actually thought to be the nearest star, or nearest after Proxima Centauri, but in reality there are many that are closer, probably. Quasars are also generally much smaller and closer than thought, probably with the exception of quasars that are connected with visible galaxies. They are at the same distances as their host galaxies. The Milky Way is thought to be 150,000 light years in diameter, but it may be only about half that, judging by the distance of one of the quasars on the author’s list, which is calculated at nearly 72,000 light years distant.
Next is a view of the solar system and the distance to Alpha Centauri, which latter is a little farther than shown. The view is on a logarithmic scale. The stars on the above list would be mostly where the Oort cloud is shown or a little farther out from there.

UPDATE: 8/12/23 I just read this article: “Smoking-gun evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration from Gaia observations of wide binary stars” at https://www.sott.net/article/483285-Smoking-gun-evidence-for-modified-gravity-at-low-acceleration-from-Gaia-observations-of-wide-binary-stars
It says gravity appears to be modified in some binary star systems. It’s not clear if gravity is considered to be weaker or stronger in those systems. But it’s based on conventional estimates of distance, therefore it’s likely to be entirely meaningless, like much of astronomy. The dark matter theory is based on the observation that arms of galaxies revolve too quickly to be explained by gravity alone. Charles Chandler found that electrical repulsion explains the excess velocity, but mainstream astronomy refuses to consider electrical forces at macroscopic scales.
If gravity really is modified in some binary star systems, it would support Electric Universe theory that gravity is an electrical effect and that large animals were able to exist thousands of years ago because gravity was much weaker then.
