If u just have observation that’s not experiment
if you're going to measure something that is already in nature, I would call it an observation and not an experiment
U have to manipulate the iv in an experiment
U can just observe an experiment though
Can’t
and in both cases, you need to make an observation (or more accurately a measurement) in order to collect data
@jeremy yes you're right, and Riley did not
Therefore his conclusion is wrong
Ok
U brought it to him and he said what ?
I don't think anyone has ever measured the distance of stars
He flipped out and said go away
Hey haven’t lol
He couldn't reconcile being wrong
"scientists" have only calculated the distance by using the hubble law (for far distant stars) and *maybe* some triangulation (I don't really know) for nearer stars
@SunRazor stellar paralax
@RogueReflector be careful, don't start name calling
yea stellar paralax
either way, it's calculating using models
I don't think we can really measure the distance to stars
U need to know the size of something or the distance to it to find out the one measurem t u don’t have
the measurements that are made, I might not doubt their accuracy... but it's the models used that I question
@jeremy ya, that's not true
You can do it with two angles and a distance
stellar paralax? fine, I can accept that. But the hubble law is founded on assumptions
The red shift thing?
yep
Ya I gotta read about that
I think it's corraborated in another way
Like the size of the objects has certain things going on
If I cut a circle out of cardboard go@in a field and u don’t know how far away I am I can tell the size of the circle ?
Yes,
U can tell ?
Wanna know how?
I doubt u could
But go ahead
I can tell you
Go tell me
Please
I can stand in one spot and zero out my pointer , targeting the object
