I've actually told you what it is at least three times but you keep getting lost and confused by basic algebra. If you don't understand what that is then you'll never ever understand the trigonometric equation for determining distances and sizes. I don't need to explain you again what I have already said in my post #317. What does this equation have to do with your reply to my statement On 7/21/2024 at 9:17 AM, MrAnderson said: You can easily estimate lengths and heights. It's your opinion only and not a fact that people cannot estimate lengths and heights. Reply: "No, I just showed you why it's impossible by mathematics." Show me then how mathematics makes it impossible. You may want to some help from @Golden Duck Edited July 30 by MrAnderson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAnderson Posted July 30 Author #327 Share Posted July 30 (edited) 23 hours ago, astrobeing said: So you missed the several times that I told you that x and y are distance and object size? Yes folks, this guy has never heard of trigonometry. Do when you measure distance and size, what number set do you use, Mr. Anderson. If you actually knew what real and complex numbers are you wouldn't have asked such a silly question! Look everyone! Mr. Anderson Googled "equation" and now found lots of irrelevant terms he doesn't understand that he thinks will make him look smart! EXACTLY MR. ANDERSON!!!! OH MY GOSH! AFTER WEEKS YOU FINALLY GOT IT! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!! EQUATIONS WITH TWO UNKNOWNS HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS!!!!!!!!! And Mr. Anderson this law of algebra which you finally discovered is completely 100% relevant to our discussion because when you have two unknowns, say, "distance" and " object size", then how are you to determine one value without knowing the other value? You can't because there are infinite possible solutions. I assume you'll deflect this with the usually random nonsense you've used in previous posts. What are you talking about? Yo can't estimate distance and object size? Your equation is completely irrelevant to your reply when I stated On 7/21/2024 at 9:17 AM, MrAnderson said: You can easily estimate lengths and heights. It's your opinion only and not a fact that people cannot estimate lengths and heights. Reply: "No, I just showed you why it's impossible by mathematics." Who said you can't estimate distances and heights? Or as the matter of fact the length of an object. When you post random equations without specifying what the variables are and if one variable is a function of another variable you don't even help youtself with the basics. I asked you what if X and Y are matrices. What if they are differential forms. A differential form is f(x)dx or you can write it as w=f(x)dx + g(y)dy in 2-D. It's irrelevant to the conversation but these X and Y can represent a differential form. But on the other hand you whole argument is irrelevant with what I stated in terms of estimating lengths and heights. You interpretation of the infinite number of solutions as proof that we cannot estimate lengths and heights/distances is a new hypothesis that you may want to publish. But first you need some logical arguments and don't state it as fact. Finally you need to show the proof. Edited July 30 by MrAnderson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question is irrelevant to the conversation just as the random equation provided by astrobeing Perhaps you both should try to answer why mathematics makes it impossible for humans to estimate lengths and heights. And I wouldn't have answered his irrelevant question if it's wasn't got post #317 in which I made a summary of what happes when you post irrelevant and random equations when you don't have any serious arguments to support your claims. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know well what I saw and I have clearly described it numerous times. The efforts to argue that what I saw it's wasn't what I thought I saw, have not succeeded. I have never seen anything like that before this event or after. You don't have to trust me or anyone else. You just go about the story and the descriptions as I don't have a photo or video to post. But what I find amusing are the arguments based on random equations that are not related to the estimate of lengths and heights despite the claims these random equations prove that humans are unable to estimate lengths and heights. You don't really need these silly arguments @astrobeing just say you don't believe the story rather than making your position impossible to defend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened on my once end I need to consider this possibility. I can't tell who is the manufacturer but I can tell you what it was and what characteristics it had. There are two scenarios, either it's man-made or extraterrestrial. I didn't see any aliens but I didn't see any humans either.

As usual you're getting all confused and writing jumbled meaningless sentences in an attempt to disprove what you don't understand. Yes, we can determine distance if we know the size and we can determine size if we know the distance. But if we don't either then we can't determine either. It is not new. This rule has existed for centuries. So I guess in all your "years and years in academia" in "physics and maths!" you have never come across a single trigonometric equation. Prove me wrong: if a object has a perceived angular size of 0.5 degrees then tell me the size of the object and its distance. I'll wait. 27 minutes ago, MrAnderson said: Can you show me how you have come up with X-2Y=0?

It's an example of an equation with two dependent variables with infinite solutions, something I've been trying and failing to teach you about. Your equation is random and I still haven't seen how did you come up with this equation. Which is the trigonometric equation you are referring to? Clearly this isn't a trigonometric equation but something random. If X is the distance from object...but what distance are you referring to? Is this the diagonal distance(?) Consider the height of the object above the ground, for simplicity assume a flat surface, then draw another line that connects the object to the observer. and Y "the number of degrees the object occupies in the sky" (as you said). What does this mean? You get X-2Y = 0 which means that you have created an equation where distance equals twice the number of degrees (whatever this means). If X is a distance the Y must also be a distance. You can't take away two different quantities (or add them up). Clearly there is some confusion in you construction and reasoning when you put together distances with 'number of degrees' and try to take them away. I am really curious how did you end up with this equation. Without units the linear equation has an infinite number of solutions but that doesn't show anything of what you try to argue.
