Another method is by observation of the revolution of binary stars around their common centre of gravity. By measuring the distance between the components (the ratio of their angular separation and their parallax) and their orbital period, one can obtain the total mass of the binary from Newton's theory of gravitation. It turns out that not only are the measured masses of binary systems of the same order of magnitude as the mass of the Sun, but the masses increase with the luminosities of the stars, as one would expect.
None of this would be true if space and time in the stellar realm were different from space and time as we experience them on Earth.

We see many more things than are here - we see the planets and stars and they are very far away. Maybe you meant, "We only see things from here," but that isn't true either, as I'll explain.
Only here can we measure anything moving in time.
We not only see things from here, we also see things from our space probes. Obviously space-time is the same all the way out to the Voyager spacecraft that are now way way out beyond Pluto, since they continue to work normally as designed.
If we see something far far far out of our time and space area here, we still see it in our time.
Yes, according to relativity each observer has a unique perspective looking out into the universe from his own coordinate system.
We could call it a fishbowl.
We could have, but the term we actually adopted was relativity.
All you seek to do is equate the way things move and behave in time here, to how it does far away from here. How? You merely use the time here that we see things from far away as the measure for how much time is involved.
That could only work if time also existed the same out there as it does here. That you do not know.
Actually we do know. We use red-shift (or sometimes blue-shift) to tell us how fast something is moving relative to us, then we use relativity to tell us how to predict its future motions, both locally in its own coordinate system and relative to us. We know how to calculate how space/time will behave in coordinate systems in relative motion.
So careful tossing the word ignorant around.
Why? There's no shame in ignorance. We're all ignorant of most of human knowledge. In your case you seem to be ignorant of cosmology and relativity.

As usual, all the fuss is entirely beside the point. Good Nature got into physical existence picking up the appropriate physics with all the "evidence" of many billion years passed. Scary dinosaur bones in the earth never made the Nature any worse until some people started getting them as the "evidence", others just as well getting "evidence" from the sky, both sorts being classic examples of stupidity.

Re: 'creation' making the same bad arguments as 'starman'
You missed the point entirely rendering what you said immaterial. Light will move according to how time exists. If time exists here, as it does, we will see light move a certain speed in our space. No one says that changes. However if there was not time as we know it here, we would not expect light to move as we now see it move in time. The issue is whether time also exists the same as here in far space.
You keep making starman's bad arguments, fascinating. Repeating bad arguments doesn't make them any better.
If time was different, then that is modeled by the random di throw. It varies all over the place, yet you still end up with the distance being measured in current time/space.
Failure to understand this does not invalidate the argument, and nothing you have said in any way contradicts what the game shows.
You do not know. Will you admit it now?
We do know, just like we know your argument fails, that it fails because it has no substance, no evidence, no rational. It fails because opinion is not science nor evidence. Will you admit that it fails? Not that it matters, everyone else knows it.
If time ... if there was not time as we know it here, we would not expect light to move as we now see it move in time. The issue is whether time also exists the same as here in far space.
If time was different then we would expect to see evidence of that. Without evidence there is no reason to think there is a difference.
You have no evidence, you have no theory, you have no argument.
What you have is a delusion that imaginary undetectable differences exist, and taken to a logical conclusion this means everything is illusion, including the chair you sit on.
If you accept your chair as real, then you accept objective empirical evidence for reality, and if you accept that, then you accept science, the study of objective empirical evidence as a measure of reality.
And once you accept that, then you accept that *you* need evidence and evidence based theory to argue against evidence and evidence based theory.
And then you will see that if you have no evidence, you have no theory, and that if you have no theory, then you have no argument that can counter one based on evidence and evidence based theory.
So sit back in your evidence based chair, and see if you can come up with some meager whit of evidence and some tentative attempt at an evidence based theory to support your argument.
Until then we know the distance to SN1987A, just like we know that your chair is real.

Re: The Win-Win situation for Science
No. Unless we know time exists all the way to those stars we cannot know how big or far away they are. So all you can say is that there are 2 stars of unknown size, origin, and distance.
We also can say that the light from those stars is seen only and always here on or near earth. So whatever action happens must be seen IN time here where time exists. To assume that the time it takes for anything to happen here equals the time it takes THERE is just a belief. Correct?

Circular reasoning. You see redshifted light involves time. How fast something is going away from us (or toward us) involves time.
Yes, we have probes, but (anomalies aside) no probe is even ONE light day away, so all probes are basically in the fishbowl! Even if they were near the fringes, we do not yet really know. That has no relevance to deep space.
Relativity is fine, but basically cannot be shown to be applicable in deep space, correct? Reember that if there were no time as we know it, we also need to question gravity and other things as being necessarily the way they are here. So gravitational lensing for all we know, out in deep space might be either something else entirely, or partially. For example it could also be partially some sort of time lensing effect. Even if it were just gravity, we need to ask how much gravity, and how much mass and size objects being affected really represent!
Relativity in deep space therefore is not confirmed by such things. Anything else?

Re: The Win-Win situation for Science
We can watch stars move, explode, change colors, and a whole host of other time dependent activities. If time didn't exist out there then nothing would be moving or changing.
We also can say that the light from those stars is seen only and always here on or near earth. So whatever action happens must be seen IN time here where time exists. To assume that the time it takes for anything to happen here equals the time it takes THERE is just a belief. Correct?
How in the world do you cross the street? If you see a car moving down the street, do you just ignore it since time down the street doesn't exist, time only exists where you are?
All you are doing is rejecting direct observations because they don't fit with your religious beliefs.

And if you want to remain a kid, you can continue having no issues acting like God exists.
Science moves onto ideas that have no issues whatsoever.
Not "no issues if you're a kid."
Not "no issues if you take the Bible literally."
Not "no issues if you don't talk to people who study such things."
Just "no issues."
Because if you're not a kid - then Santa has reality issues.
Because if you don't take the Bible literally - then Christianity has reality issues.
Because if you talk to people who study such things - then God existing has reality issues.
Science only claims to know things if there are no issues. From anyone able to back up their complaints ("reality").
Stars being far away is something science knows and there are no issues with it from anyone who can back up their claims.
Sure, there are complaints (like yours) but nothing in reality backs up your complaint. Therefore, it's proper to ignore your complaint until such time as when you can produce something that actually makes sense in reality.

Actually, it involves space-time.
How fast something is going away from us (or toward us) involves time.
How fast anything happens involves space-time, and the rate at which processes at remote distances occur relative to here on Earth tells us the degree of effect on space-time.
Yes, we have probes, but (anomalies aside) no probe is even ONE light day away, so all probes are basically in the fishbowl! Even if they were near the fringes, we do not yet really know. That has no relevance to deep space.
You're repeating yourself, and the answer hasn't changed. Voyager 1 is about .7 of a light day away. Is a light day your threshold? If a probe reaches a distance of a light day from the sun and still perceives things out there as being the same as here, will that settle it for you? Because in about 15 years Voyager 1 will be about a light day away.
Your "fishbowl" is a made up term. You have no definition for it, have no idea how big it is, how far it extends, you just made it up.
Relativity is fine, but basically cannot be shown to be applicable in deep space, correct?
That would be incorrect, for the reasons given above, that we can tell how fast an object is approaching/receding by blue/red shift and by the rate at which natural processes are proceeding, for instance the frequency of emission/absorption of gases, which also tells us how much of the red shift is due to expansion of space.
Remember that if there were no time as we know it,...
But we know a great deal about space-time, because we can see it and measure it.
...we also need to question gravity and other things as being necessarily the way they are here. So gravitational lensing for all we know, out in deep space might be either something else entirely, or partially.
But we know the nature of space-time wherever we look in the universe, because the electromagnetic radiation arriving from far away tells us all about it. And we know that gravity out there behaves like gravity here because of the way stars and galaxies and galactic clusters move, and because of effects like gravitational lensing that produce things like Einstein rings.
For example it could also be partially some sort of time lensing effect.
You mean where the further out we look into the universe the further back in time we're seeing objects? That couldn't produce red/blue shift or changes in the rate at which natural processes proceed.
Even if it were just gravity, we need to ask how much gravity, and how much mass and size objects being affected really represent!
The motion of objects relative to one another tells us how much gravity and mass, and often the density.

In order for the light to come from different points in the sky it would require the object emitting the light to move. If it is moving, then there is time where the star is found.
The streets we cross are here. Face it.
The cars driving down the streets are there, not here. Do you just ignore the cars because time only exists where you are and not where the cars are?
False. I do not reject what we see. It does take light so much time to move so far here...etc etc.
If light is moving then there has to be time along the space it is moving across.

You're repeating yourself instead of responding to what was said.
The answer hasn't changed. We know how much time passes for objects at great distances because we know how certain processes occur here on Earth, and we can observe how fast those processes proceed for distant objects. For example, you can find the spectra of absorption for some common elements at Stellar Spectra, and here's the spectra for hydrogen:
We see this same absorption spectra when we look at distant stars, confirming that what happens here also happens there, but shifted toward lower longer wavelengths because of speed of recession and the expansion of space.
How in the world do you cross the street? If you see a car moving down the street, do you just ignore it since time down the street doesn't exist, time only exists where you are?
The streets we cross are here. Face it.
Depends how you define here. Your house? Your neighborhood? Your city? Your country? Your planet? Your solar system? Your galaxy? Your universe? Here in our universe, everywhere we look the laws of nature are the same out there as they are here.
All you are doing is rejecting direct observations because they don't fit with your religious beliefs.
False. I do not reject what we see. It does take light so much time to move so far here...etc etc.
What is true both observationally and theoretically is that the speed of light is the same throughout the universe.

Hilarious!! You just admitted you think you know how time is there because you are here and time works a certain way here. Now for the 64 dollar question, WHY does it have to be the same??
and we can observe how fast those processes proceed for distant objects.
NO. You only observe HERE IN time!
For example, you can find the spectra of absorption for some common elements at Stellar Spectra, and here's the spectra for hydrogen:
We see this same absorption spectra when we look at distant stars, confirming that what happens here also happens there, but shifted toward lower longer wavelengths because of speed of recession and the expansion of space.
So what!!??
We see light here, and apparently it tells us certain elements exist in the star. That does not tell us how much time is involved.
Depends how you define here. Your house? Your neighborhood? Your city? Your country? Your planet? Your solar system? Your galaxy? Your universe? Here in our universe, everywhere we look the laws of nature are the same out there as they are here.
How about what we know? What star have you crossed a street at?
I have been generous and called the fishbowl the solar system and area. That is further than you will ever go, or any probe. Remember, your probe is less than a light day away. Get back t us when it is a whole week away!
All you are doing is rejecting direct observations because they don't fit with your religious beliefs.
Absurdly false.
I do not reject what we see here, or the time it takes here to move or etc etc! I reject beliefs that involve what is not seen. [quote] What is true both observationally and theoretically is that the speed of light is the same throughout the universe.[/qs] Based on what? How do you measure speed of light say, 10 billion light years away?? Ha. You made the claim, so let's see what you got.

Movement does not mean moving in time as it is on earth. Yes things move. The question is what space and time where they are moving through is like.
If light is moving then there has to be time along the space it is moving across.
Let's accept for the time being that is true. So what!!? I could set a clock, perhaps to move real slow. Or fast. It would still move.
