Doctor Parallax Sounds like a cheesy 60's sci-fi baddie...
Tom doesn't even comprehend how a proper parallax is done with Radar to avoid parallax error. And that is why we know the true distance of the Sun and the Moon. But I think I am stepping in to deeply here since this is for FErs only.. Just food for thought.
That statement is referring to Parallax, not parallax lol.
I was referring to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax
And to Tom Bishops arguments on the matter. Hence I wasn't referring to "Doctor Parallax" either.. It reminded me of another argument silly wabbit. Perhaps you would have figured that out from the context of the post lol.
Dr. Parallax refers to the pen name of Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, author of Earth Not a Globe.
I am aware of that.. My post had nothing to do with the pen name other than that it reminded me of another argument with Tom in regards to how far the Sun and moon are away. Why can't anyone comprehend my post? lol
Because it didn't relate to the post that you responded to.
I think it was quite clear enough that I was using "Parallax" as a key word to bring up another subject to which Tom Bishop failed at. Even the person that responded to my post first should have had a light bulb go on over their head to realize the purpose of my post lol..
"That statement is referring to Parallax, not parallax lol."
[sarcasm]No sh_t really? Gah, I must have missed that entirely LOL [/sarcasm]
