how can you argue with such a distnce i determined from 2 stick shadows
Because I know light curves
I've SEEN light curve
but its 93 bajillion super tillion miles away
You can't make a triangle if one or more of the sides are CURVED, i.e. the light ray doesn't travel in a perfectly straight path
If I took the angle I see the light and made a geometrically straight line, the sun would not be there, that is true even in the Heliocentric model
Nothing is where you think it is
At short distances our minds assume light travels in a straight line, at long distances globers are quick to claim 500km away is possible due to REFRACTION, this is the bending of light, unfortunately light does not bend DOWN, it bends UP
Pythagorean triples
You know the Chinese did the Eratosthenes experiment but they used DIFFERENT BASE ASSUMPTIONS they placed the sun less than about 6,000km high and assumed a flat earth
The JESUITS forced the Chinese to adopt heliocentrism
They still thought Earth was flat right up until the 17th century
Oh yeah the chinese know it all
The Chinese even sailed to America, Europe, Africa using flat maps, flat cosmology selling their Opium
@pretextos They don't know about the Tiananamen Square massacre however
The chinese sailed to sell THEIR opium??
They sure did
They used to have ship yards in Fur Chao and in Shanghai
Opium was banned in China as soon as the english started selling it to them
They had a totally alien design of ships
It's more complicated than that, the Far East started having a bad opium harvest and the English started dominating the opium trade
China was divided up back then, lots of different factions
Meanwhile the British dominated the seas
Hmm
Ming
They still cant measure shit
Yep the Ming Dynasy had all the major ports, Furchao Shanghai, Macao up until the Portuguese took it over
Lol
if boobs are round so must the earth
So the british wanted tea
China didnt give tea
British angry
British sell opium
China angry
China ban opium
