    Why would it collapse our understanding of the theories of how the world works? What in physics says that this is impossible or goes against these laws? Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 13:10
  • According to physics stars are giant sun sized stars. And they are billions of light year apart. It is impossible to perform such a feat from physics point of view. Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 13:14
  • It is impossible for humans to perform it. Why is it impossible for nature to produce it? Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 13:16

    @curious_cat What in physics says that this is impossible or goes against these laws - the scenario you describe quite literally violates relativity. If I go to sleep tonight without those words spelled in the sky, and I wake up and the words are there, spelled out in stars, stars would have to travel faster than the speed of light to come to that arrangement.

    If they were spelled out since the birth of civilization, then it would seem like it's not a coincidence that it matches human language. Rather than it being a message to humans, the more parsimonious aspect in that situation is that we developed our written language to match what we see in the sky. In other words, "God exists" is spelled in the sky because we saw some shapes in the sky and decided to make those shapes mean "God exists". Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 13:25
