yeah i heard it was 93 million miles or something 😂

2019-11-18 13:12:51 UTC  

Yea, just because it's a long distance does not meet it is false

2019-11-18 13:13:10 UTC  

just because they told you its that doesnt mean it is

2019-11-18 13:13:28 UTC  

I know.

2019-11-18 13:13:33 UTC  

ok

2019-11-18 13:13:38 UTC  

you have proof

2019-11-18 13:13:43 UTC  

I don't take things at face value

2019-11-18 13:13:43 UTC  

of these distances

2019-11-18 13:13:56 UTC  

you have proof then

2019-11-18 13:13:59 UTC  

?

2019-11-18 13:14:23 UTC  

Many fields of science depend on these distances, and the distance itself was mathmatticly descovered

2019-11-18 13:14:36 UTC  

without using pre determined methodology or maths of distances

2019-11-18 13:14:54 UTC  

how was it discovered

2019-11-18 13:14:58 UTC  

?

2019-11-18 13:15:10 UTC  

how do you know it true ,who discovered it and how

2019-11-18 13:15:24 UTC  

and how do you know thats true also

2019-11-18 13:15:55 UTC  

Christiaan Huygens

2019-11-18 13:16:03 UTC  

He is the one who first found it out

2019-11-18 13:16:08 UTC  

how

2019-11-18 13:16:13 UTC  

How do you know what is true?

2019-11-18 13:16:24 UTC  

Oh ye let me find his work

2019-11-18 13:16:31 UTC  

im asking you to state why you know its true

2019-11-18 13:16:39 UTC  

In 1653, astronomer Christiaan Huygens calculated the distance from Earth to the sun. He used the phases of Venus to find the angles in a Venus-Earth-sun triangle.

2019-11-18 13:16:46 UTC  

ohh dear

2019-11-18 13:16:57 UTC  

how far away os venus

2019-11-18 13:17:02 UTC  

and how do you know

2019-11-18 13:17:19 UTC  

this could take a looongg time

2019-11-18 13:17:42 UTC  

The underlying principle behind Halley's method is something called parallax, the shift in position that comes from viewing an object from two different points.

2019-11-18 13:18:12 UTC  

It would take a long time. But something taking a long time doesn't matter

2019-11-18 13:18:23 UTC  

you are going off methodology or distances of said objects and magnitudes sizes etc thats been given to you ,which you use as proof

2019-11-18 13:18:35 UTC  

which isnt proof

2019-11-18 13:18:56 UTC  

Also, tell me this, why would they hide the shape of the earth?

2019-11-18 13:19:04 UTC  

how would YOU measure venus

2019-11-18 13:19:11 UTC  

or distance to the sun

2019-11-18 13:19:42 UTC  

I don't know, I don't have any training in astronomy and I don't have as much math training as them

2019-11-18 13:20:04 UTC  

so you are relying off of what you have been told is true

2019-11-18 13:20:14 UTC  

and using calculations from that

2019-11-18 13:20:24 UTC  

I have also made Sure that it makes sense with everything else I know.

2019-11-18 13:20:29 UTC  

thats not truth

2019-11-18 13:21:22 UTC  

and its not proof

2019-11-18 13:21:26 UTC  

by no means
