Just because you're too ignorant or stupid to know how a figure is derived doesn't invalidate that figure, it invalidates your education.
The implication being that you totally understand all of these things and can independently prove the age of the earth, the distance of the sun, the size of Venus, etc.
Idiot.
You could, if you had the math for it, and understood how to operate a few simple navigational tools. You're beyond an idiot, you're a mind cancer. You metastasize stupidity and ignorance wherever you possibly can. It's like your IQ can be measured in negative integers you're so stupid.
Ok 👌🏼 A person with average intelligence can discern that you have relayed literally zero actual content or information and, like a shill, have instead simply taken up space personally attacking me.
Did you know, if just one of the axioms (assumptions) of Einstein's theory of relatively is incorrect, namely the assumption that space in unbounded, then the speed of light constant changes. In particular, the speed of light if the universe is bounded is far faster, meaning ALL of our clauclations based on parallax (distance, trigonometry) would be incorrect.
You, like many, seem to not understand that ALL of science is based on axioms. Axioms are assumptions held to be true. Hence, they are not "proven" they are simply agreed to be true.
Your below comment about using "enough math" and "navigational tools" is incorrect. These tools and the underlying mathematical principles on which they operate, are fundamentally built upon assumptions we hold to be true (like the speed of light constant) because it works well enough to help us "understand" reality.
It's not magic, it's belief.
None of our distance measurements would change because our standard candles wouldn't change. Parallax is not dependent on the speed of light being a constant, it's based on perspective, which is based on the Inverse Square Law. We measure longer distances by using either cepheid variables or type 1 supernovae. Those are what are called "standard candles."
Look, I'd love to spend several years of my time putting you through 40 hours per week of instruction so that you could know all the stuff you currently don't know that makes you think "I don't know how this works therefore it doesn't work" like some arrogant sociopath asshole might. BGut you can;t afford to hire me to do that. So go crack a fucking book, 'tardo.
You claim to be versed on this topic, but you've failed to clearly defend your position.
If it would take you years of 40-hour weeks to explain it to me, you clearly don't know it that well.
Edit: blocked me after his last comment (he got upset, you must forgive him)
Here is what I tried to reply with. Enjoy
and think that means there must be nothing worth knowing
This is not true. on the contrary. I believe there is much more that we don't know, than that we do.
To give up on the attempt to make sense of the chaos, finding the harmony in this life, would be a mistake.I am very pleased with this conversation. As it has continued, you've only served to prove you are not capable of debate without devolving into petty name calling.
