OK, so you think a star was just a tiny point of visible light... until we developed telescopes. This is a antrophocentric world view by definition.

In other words, maybe you're the only subject. Or maybe I am. Or maybe all that exists are isolated "snapshots" and that we only assume time passes because we process a single momentary "image" of memories that includes the sensation of it passing.
The problem, of course, is that we can not possible ever know. And so we mostly discard this notion because absent someone pulling us through a door and letting us observe it from the outside, we're stuck inside a room and trying to infer the outside shape of the building without having any idea how much of the interior we have access to.
