Red corrected Jeranism in that you can use other methods besides eye-balling to determine distance.

2018-10-12 17:15:56 UTC  

Then Globebusters responded to Red's video, missing the point completely, accusing Red of assuming the Earth is a globe, when all he was doing was correcting Jeran on his methods.

2018-10-12 17:17:02 UTC  

I've watched people do the math

2018-10-12 17:17:14 UTC  

I must agree with the18thdoctor

2018-10-12 17:17:20 UTC  

those videos are highly irrational

2018-10-12 17:17:32 UTC  

gotta work on that trig

2018-10-12 17:17:44 UTC  

using pythagorean theorem they calculate the distance of the sun at 93,000,000 miles away

2018-10-12 17:17:53 UTC  

but they assume we live on a curve to get that distance

2018-10-12 17:18:11 UTC  

and as soon as you flatten that curve, it changes to 3,400 miles away for the sun

2018-10-12 17:18:39 UTC  

no?

2018-10-12 17:18:40 UTC  

so your assuming you live on a ball, and based on that assumption you can calculate the sun's distance

2018-10-12 17:18:50 UTC  

I've watched people do it

2018-10-12 17:18:50 UTC  

that's not how it's done

2018-10-12 17:18:57 UTC  

that is exactly how it is done

2018-10-12 17:19:17 UTC  

you assume the curve, say its 93,000,000 away, and then that proves the globe

2018-10-12 17:19:23 UTC  

well, that doesn't prove diddly

2018-10-12 17:19:35 UTC  

both models work with the math

2018-10-12 17:19:41 UTC  

not how it's done

2018-10-12 17:19:43 UTC  

math alone doesn't confirm reality

2018-10-12 17:20:00 UTC  

I can look at the sun, and see where the light is coming from off of it

2018-10-12 17:20:10 UTC  

math might not

2018-10-12 17:20:22 UTC  

mathematical formulas certainly do

2018-10-12 17:20:29 UTC  

e=mc^2

2018-10-12 17:20:55 UTC  

light is local

2018-10-12 17:20:55 UTC  

the first image is fake

2018-10-12 17:20:59 UTC  

people asked the creators of it

2018-10-12 17:21:10 UTC  

thanks for trying to lie to me

2018-10-12 17:21:32 UTC  

I don't buy that the first image is fake

2018-10-12 17:21:34 UTC  

the second one doesn't look too real, but I'm not sure

2018-10-12 17:21:41 UTC  

then I've got nothing to tell you

2018-10-12 17:21:45 UTC  

the 2nd one is street lamps

2018-10-12 17:21:54 UTC  

nothing is special about either of these pics

2018-10-12 17:21:55 UTC  

so what is your point

2018-10-12 17:22:05 UTC  

you can grab other pics that show the exact same thing

2018-10-12 17:22:14 UTC  

yea there are a bunch of other fakes

2018-10-12 17:22:18 UTC  

sun seen thru clouds, shows its local

2018-10-12 17:22:27 UTC  

you can go and create your own pics with your own camera

2018-10-12 17:22:31 UTC  

sun is near clouds all the time
