We would probably notice a star that is less than 4 Light years away, but I'll give the video a shot and see.
Well, we should be able to detect a star that close but your phrasing suggests it would stand out somehow from all the other stars in the sky. It's not really a question of distance and being able to detect it, it's a question of figuring out where to look.

Exactly. Which is why he says it would take a really short amount of time to debunk/prove.
He isnt basing his career on it, its just something interesting that 'could' be true and has a fair amount of evidence suggesting it and he'd like to find out.

Remember when what's her face shaved her head for GI Jane or whatever?
And everyone was like "omg what an amazing actress"
I was always like "fuck, it's just hair. Gimme 20 million dollars, I'll shave my head too."
I think people were giving her props for the shape she got herself in for the role. Not that she was SEALs worthy or anything but she could do more one-handed pushups than any chick I have ever seen.
Having just read a chapter from my Astronomy textbook, I feel the need to point out the obvious. The answer to the paradox is that the universe, is rather large. Huge, even.

Wouldn't a star that is traveling toward us at that rate of speed have a very strong blueshift? While that may not draw attention to it at first, it would at least make it stand out if they ever did happen to pass over it with those kind of instruments. In any case, Im only about 20 minutes into his lecture. I've seen another of his on Atomic bombs and such. Very cool Prof.
Dick. So, I'm wondering what...oh, shit now I have to go to a fucking training session on Wednesday night. Thanks, boss. You're the goddamned champion of fucking with my schedule.

I predict Britney will be dead before Courtney Love.
But she'll still look sexier than Courtney Love.

Knowing you, Grant, she's probably getting sexier in your eyes the crazier she gets.
I don't think I could even hate fuck her
She's too far gone

When I started shaving my head, my ponytail was 19 inches long.
Shaving your head isn't the hard part. Letting it grow back out after shaving it a while... THAT'S difficult.

I just suspect that any moment she's going to announce that she's marrying Kerry King of Slayer.
So pretty big then, yeah?
Bigger than Texas?
Think of the distance between your house and the pharmacy.
It's even bigger than that.
It's the size of three Texas'.
Not the country, just any old state from the country.
This is astronomy, so don't feel bad if you can't figure this out.
Edit: My answer was better.
You speak crazy talk.

HA HA
I mean.
Um. Usually.
Once the Nemesis star swings around again, we're all dead, anyways.

I'm probably hoping for too much.
No man fucks with my drinking time. Thankfully, I found out that it's during my normal hours.

Seriously, Ptolemy. This is the worst scale ever.
Asimov bitches
Thought you don't have normal hours. I was just starting to admire you, Darth.
Asimov doesn't get bottomed.
wait that's awesome! I thought that Asimov's stuff was under copyright or something
That looks like a cool site
But seriously, fuck highly eliptical brown dwarfs. All they do is show up at the worst possible time and trigger an extinction event.
Then they won't return your calls.
Other things in the sky that enrage me: Earth's secret invisible moon, Lilith.
He and I both work an abnormal shift.
Normal working hours, jackass. Everyone else has to stay for an extra hour while I just sit there and do my thing.
And I haven't been normal since God knows when.
