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

2019-11-18 13:21:35 UTC  

Our eyes trick us, without mathematics nothing would ever be to where it is today. Also, why do you belive they would hide the shape of the earth, what do they gain

2019-11-18 13:22:48 UTC  

@Slash perhaps we cant comprehend why they would lie because we dont know why they have ,but its a good question ,why lie about it ,there must be a very good reason ,and that question is bigger than the shape of the earth or universe

2019-11-18 13:23:23 UTC  

They are just people, they think like we do. If you knew the shape of the earth why would you hide it.

2019-11-18 13:24:11 UTC  

It would take millions just to keep such a big lie all together, heck billions. They only have stuff to lose

2019-11-18 13:24:53 UTC  

Also, how come apparently every country is in on it? When most countries hate one another and would love for anything to make the other countries seem dumb

2019-11-18 13:25:16 UTC  

thats all distractions

2019-11-18 13:25:39 UTC  

yes tney are in on it

2019-11-18 13:26:16 UTC  

i suppose you believe you voted for your own democracy or government too ?

2019-11-18 13:26:37 UTC  

😁

2019-11-18 13:27:18 UTC  

circus and bread

2019-11-18 13:27:45 UTC  

Dude you never gave me any reason why they might all be in on this when they only have stuff to lose
