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?
didn't think you were up for it
What for the sun being 93million miles away?
Maths for that?
And how
How was it measured
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
just need angles
But I though you said.. Nm
the venus distance is an output of this method
as is 93e6 miles for the AU
Pre determined theology wiil sometimes lead you into a dead end
sure that's true
