Parallax? Yes. Actually, that is literally how the brain does it, using your two eyes' stereovision. That is how everybody in tennis, socker, football, basket, any ball sport, does it all the time. There are many ways to measure the distance to the Sun, depending upon what knowledge and data is available to you. Any data you measure, always, will always be limited in accuracy. That is one reason why results will differ somewhat. Another is that the planets' orbits around the Sun are not circular but elliptical, so the distance actually varies. Anyway, a most primitive version of measuring the distance to the Sun goes like this: You can measure the relative angular difference between two close stars quite accurately, even with primitive optics, just because of what we already know about those optics. And we can observe the relative position of a planet like Mars or Venus in relation to those stars. Now two observers, widely geographically separated by a known distance on earth, observe the relative position (against the stars) of that planet at the same time (clock). Then they compare their observations and can thus determine the angular difference with reasonable accuracy, despite that it's very small. This directly gives them the distance between the Earth and that planet in that moment. Parallax. The distance from Earth to the Sun then directly follows from the simple triangulation that the page Hype linked to shows. That is one, very early and original way of doing it. More knowledge, more tools and more available data will open up many other ways of doing it. All of them eventually converging into a more and more accurate data. I still want to see this replicated in model then at the end verified with a tape measure. Well, the only reason I bothered to make a serious answer for you - which you may have noticed I've never done before - was as an experiment. ...Or test. Which you promptly failed. But if you want to entertain yourself with the Hype, by all means, go ahead. I don't care. But a prediction: See how it works out for you in the long run. An audience of silence is what you'll earn. And I'm absolutely certain that is not why you're doing these kind of things.

Here's undebunkable empirical evidence for everyone to understand that mainstream science has issues; ^ Keep in mind where the Arctic Circle is. ^ Now picture yourself at the Arctic Circle in December Winter Solstice spinning on the Earth counterclockwise toward the sunrise from complete darkness. According to this model the sun should start out at it's highest point in the morning sunrise and move to it's lowest point in the sky at mid day before going back at it's highest point in the evening sunset. Basically the sun should move across the sky in the shape of a smiley face at the Winter Solstice Arctic Circle because you start at the lowest point on the Arctic Circle axis and get rotated up higher by the axis tilt for mid day.

Well then, you're not worth appealing to anymore, since you keep changing the parameters of what is acceptable evidence contradicting your point. You're shifting the evidence to the point of absurdity, and will no doubt claim that since you can't get a tape measure that is light years in length to prove an assertion (which needs not that amount of specification,) that it must be wrong. Plus, what's to stop you from pulling yet another arbitrary criteria out of your ass? Get out of this thread and stop trying to muddle real science. This isn't the place for your incoherent, nonsensical ramblings and conspiracy theories.

At the risk of adding fuel to a very silly fire, Oatmeal raisin is the most evil of cookies. It looks a lot like the best cookie, chocolate chip, but then contains raisins, which are always a disappointment. Also oats give the illusion of being healthy which is exactly contrary to a cookie's purpose. If this were Ye Olde Shitty Times I'd have you burned at the stake for this heresy. Besides, science now permits us to use alternatives to raisins.

If you spontaneously combust or find yourself on trial for blowing up an orphanage, don't say you weren't warned. But the oatie goodness and raisin plush feeling against my teeth and the warm satisfaction of a healthier (well... sort of) cookie snack is just too much to resist!

Very cool video. Your missing the point if I have to add just South of the Arctic circle. You're missing the point if you don't understand how the Earth's rotational axis works with its orbit. Don't understand how you can claim to understand that distance to sun math, but not this.

Honey is pretty rare. Last I heard like 70% of honey on the market is faked with high fructose corn syrup and water or something. You should be able to see the Pollen haze through honey if it's real. ... Ah, here's where I first heard of it (timestamp 0:32 to 4:17), and it's over 75% of fake honey for the US.
^ Fun fact from video, "Bees have to visit 2 million flowers to produce just one cup of honey."
Lucky local health store has this dispenser with honey from the locals, good stuff. I go through it pretty quick. Basically replaced my sugar intake.
