Apropos Big Bang Theory

In a previous paper we explored the reasons why Cosmic Microwave Background
Radiation cannot be the proof positive of the Big Bang Theory that it was
lauded as when it was first discovered, so now let’s delve into another
possible counter-proof of the Big Bang Theory.
How do we know that the Universe is expanding? This is the Big Bang
Theory’s main tenet, for otherwise we would have no indication that all the
mass in the Universe was at one time in one place. We measure the stars
luminosity to determine their distance from our planet, and then analyze
the spectrum of light that we can see to figure out their size. From this
we can calculate, over time, in which direction these celestial bodies
move, and how they correlate to one another.
However, it has never been proven that all stars shine with the same
intensity, and in the same spectrum of light regardless of the star’s size,
and without this axiomatic assumption of celestial mapping being confirmed
[that both factors are constant despite differences in size, etc] we have
no way of knowing exactly where each star actually falls into place.
I’ve attempted without the slightest hint of success to find empirical or
even purely hypothetical evidence that all stars shine as bright. More
research is warranted before the Big Bang Theory can ever truly be more
than just a theory.
