How far away is your sun in your model?

we don't have a model

I dont have a model for how far the sun is

They believe it's much closer than the globe earth sun.

It looks pretty close

Feels close

Intuition is misleading

Doesnt feel 93 million miles away

Again, intuition is misleading

looks close, feels close and just like the globe model, nobody has ever actually measured the distance, because nobody can

If psychology has taught us anything, it’s that we shouldn’t trust our senses

We have measured the distance

They say the suns surface is 10000 degrees. You think the heat from 10 self cleaning ovens travels 93 million miles and heats u up?

Lol

You measured the distance?

Hows that?

we haven't! to measure the distance we either need to know the size, or the distance, we don't know the distance without knowing the size! do you see the predicament?

Parallexes

What assumptions did you use to measure ?

Lol

You dont need to know the size of the sun to measure the distance lol

of course you do

Why...?

because if you know the size, you can calculate the distance!

Crypto, can i ask, whats the highest level of math you’ve taken?

it doesn't matter what my level of indoctrination is, it's irrelevant

Math isn’t indoctrination...

whatever, we'll agree to disagree

That’s a ridiculous assertion though. Math is self-evidently true

Ok literally look at flat earth ocean currents.

It's pretty clear voyages in the exploration age just followed the currents in a huge circle.

They didn't just sail straight and they hardly had the technology to do much else aside from following the wind and ocean currents.

but maths alone isn't proof of a lot, it can verify things, sure. But maths can't tell me what you had for dinner yesterday or what time you emptied your bladder

Sure, but that’s not the purpose of math

We can use math to measure distances and angles

maths is just another language, used as a way to explain things that words alone can't always convey. But back to the point, maths alone is not enough to tell you this world is a globe. You need other things too. so, are we going to get back to you providing proof for curvature or rotation? or is this just going to be another pointless conversation, another opportunity for a globe supporter to think they're right, so they can massage their ego?

Be back later, calc class is starting

LMAO

@🎃Oakheart🎃 not only that, but sailors have used sextants for a very long time, navigating by the stars, to this day, sailors can use those same star charts used back then, confirming the stars haven't changed
