Why can't my headlights shine more than 160 feet in front of me, but stars can emit light that travels allllll the way the fuck to us here on the earth... I understand that on earth, there is atmosphere and whatnot that scatters and stops the light from shining further, but isnt starlight travelling through arguably much more atmosphere to shine all the way the fuck to my eyes? I mean- what the fuck- Why do people believe this shit? Can someone explain to me why I can see starlight from billions of miles away?

Stars are light stuck on the firmament. I've read that they are our heritage, our families, where we go when we die. Cool huh?
wouldnt there be lots more stars if they were all dead souls?
I imagine there would only be so much room on the firmament.... maybe im missing smething?
More souls, brighter the star. Just some crazy shit I read once.
I mean, that makes perfect sense to a 5 year old, but you're better than this.
