trig
Since you can’t tangibly verify it. Meanwhile dismissing the observations the sun is close and local.
mathematics is based off of real life
Oh yeah?
i am gone
trig can be verified with a pencil and ruler
lol
do you think math is fake?
Tangible verification.
We observe sun rays that tell us it is close.
And you’re like, nah. My pre-assumed math says it’s far away.
Unbiased observation doesn’t start with the conclusion it’s a distant light source.
Yet you do.
Who claimed it was distant before proving it
You literally claim it’s 93 million miles away with zero tangible verifiability.
the beams of light do not reveal the position of the sun. you need the length of another "side" of a triangle, by obvserving it from a different point. People did this in 250 BC. All someone needs is two different measuring angles with a known distance between them
verification is in the numbers.
you cant understand relationships between celestial bodies in a tangible way
If you know the distance between two points, doesn’t it stand to argue you can verify the curve in between those two points on a ball earth of 24,901 miles in circumference?
Yes. This is how the circumference was measured as well. By knowing the distance between two points and measuring the angle of the sun's rays by measuring how far the rays would fall into a well, the circumference of the earth was measured
Nobody has ever measured curve. Truly, I’m sorry.
And Eratosthenes experiment assumed light rays were parallel.
They’re not.
They’re divergent. So you’re already operating from a conclusion first, instead of observation first.
You choose to oppose concepts that thousands of scientists and mathematicians rely on to make what they do work with a poorly edited image with no verification lmao
There is no substitute for tangible proof. Theorists pretending theories are substitutes, can take a hike.
what about tectonic plate interactions that cause ripple effects around the earth, light distortion due to the curved atmosphere, satellite imagery, and common transport systems that go around earth
@Holocene your “science” does not follow the scientific method thus it is pseudoscience
i have talked about scientists as a group. I have no clue what you are talking abount.
Can you prove the atmosphere curves
There’s not a single real picture of earth from space
And many of them can’t replicate studies by peers
Infact 80% can’t
i made my own atmosphere balloon my guy, chances are the middle school 2 blocks away from you has as well.
You’re saying our atmosphere has a physical barrier? Okay.
If you can not replicate a study
It is not science
