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

http://www.exploratorium.edu/venus/question4.html

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

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

but we're not talking about that
