Just say
You think that's 93 million miles away?
Well yea
That's funny
If it was close we could be burning
Think like that
Oh man
I’m tired
I stayed up all night
@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoMan its been measured
By who?
Arotostinese (wrong spelling)
well haley came up with the venus transit method
He never even accounted for refraction
i forget the guy that actually did it
Ima sleep
Peace
So you don't know his name or how flawed his calculations was, but you still believe it? Blindly?
Good shit
oh you wanna see the math?
What for the sun being 93million miles away?
Maths for that?
And how
How was it measured
that explains the math
basically i'ts triangulation using parallax viewing of the venus transit
K I have a look
you draw two triangles
I don't math about venus
and you know the distance between observers
How do you knpw how far venus is?
Your going on pre assumptions
you don't
you solve for it here
that's not part of the math input
How do you know how far away venus is?
don't need to know
see how that's not part of the math
