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

oops

That’s just not true, only general shapes and positions are the same for some stars

Some constellations are completely gone

My favorite is Argos Bc boats are cool

The big dipper can be seen all year

The Big Dipper, especially Polaris, is near our axis of rotation

Based on time of year, certain stars/constellations take certain positions in the sky

The big dipper shows the season.

You've been decieved.

By NASA

Polaris is A PART OF the Big Dipper

no...

Yes it is
