it doesn't matter how many observation points
you can have 20
It does. Try it.
I'm not running around doing experiments
you have flat earthers who have already done i
With three observation points?
Or, since you say it still works, 20?
I'll track down and videos
The first video uses one observer, so it's completely flat-out wrong about the whole idea. The second video only uses two observers, so it is again inaccurate.
The reason is that two points can define a line, but you need three to define a plane and four to define space.
your math is wrong
1,2,5
your in geometry class and they are doing other type of math dealing with cosines, tangents, etc
That's geometry.
Trigonometry is a subsection of geometry.
well trig isn't geometry
Read the actual page you took that quote from.
ur trying to say what they are doing is invalid with bad defintions
just because of your lack of the math doesn't invalidate it
No, I'm saying it's inconclusive, since only one or two points are used.
it works with trig
you miss that red rhetoric was the one doing the math for the globe
they took his math and modified it for flat earth
its not even their math, its red rhetorics math
if you don't think it was done right, take it up with red
Yes. They also completely missed the whole point of Red's video.
he's a globe believer
I think u missed the point
doctor, he never actually reads the things he quotes
I watched the videos
he assumes he is right, and uses that to ignore everything else
the basic geometry on day 1 teaches taht you tkae 2 points to draw a line
3 points to define a plane
Red's video was in response to one by Jeranism. In that video, Jeran claimed that the distance and size of the Sun were randomly chosen, and that the only way you could determine the actual distance was by guessing, since scale invariance makes it impossible to tell between a small, close thing and a distant, large thing. Red corrected him by explaining the trigonometry used to calculate the distance to the sun. It had nothing to do with proving the shape of the Earth, it was simply to correct him on his methods.
4 points to definite 3 dimensions
when your dealing with trig they move way beyond that
