Why is it that when someone tells you that there's billions of stars in the universe, you believe them.?

Question

But if they tell you there's wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it?

Answer 1

very easy to touch paint.

very difficult to count to a billion

Answer 2

Because people joke and lie sometimes and touching the paint can give you a definitive answer without trusting the source of the information..

A billion Stars on the other hand is harder to prove, so you just accept that there is at least a billion stars cause the eye never lies and ive seen stars in the billions on a clear night in the country

Answer 3

You can touch wet paint but you can't touch the stars.

Answer 4

Next time someone tells me there are billions of stars I'll touch them to make sure it's real.

Answer 5

nobody wants to count the billions of stars and by looking at the sky it looks like there are a billion stars but that wet paint my not look all that wet so you want to see for yourself

Answer 6

There is adequate scientific evidence available, for someone who wishes to study the same at appropriate levels. Nobody has to believe things, because somebody has merely told them...

Answer 7

I'd touch the stars too if I could reach them.
