Default if the mayas were crossed eyed and binoculathey could tell star distance just looking

i discovered this while meditating crosseyed to see double



probably mayas had conversations like this:

do you see that star?

the close one?

not the far away one

according my research we use sight all wrong

if you look crosseyed, even slightly and let your brain do the superposition instead of the eyes the eyes become a device that can measure distance from zero to infinite:

zero distance: the dot is on the edge of the intesection of both visions of each eye

infinite distance: the dot is in the midle of the intersection

and why every cartoon is crosseyed, could actually be more atractive for being the natural way?

also probably the metals we ingest screw our vision

I think your logic is a bit wrong on this one.

How can two eyes 2cm apart measure the distance to a star that is 2 million light years away?

That's 14,696,563,427,345,637,530 miles away. Give or take a few..

The number above is... deep breath...

Fourteen quintillion, Six hundred and ninety six quadrillion, five hundred and sixty three trillion, four hundred and twenty seven billion, three hundred and forty five million, six hundred and thirty seven thousand, five hundred and thirty miles.

They currently use parallax to measure up to a couple of thousand light years, after that it becomes such a small movement that it's undetectable. From there onwards they are pretty much guessing. (There could be as much as a 20% error margin for distances over a few thousand light years)

So no, I don't think the Mayans could measure stellar distances. We can't either.

the fake science taught in schools promoted by petrol companies dont want you to know this:



im not explaining very well and got it reversed ill try again:

if i look to a road corsseyed that vanishes in infinity this is what i see:



and this effect is independent of my eyes distance

check how this way i can know zero distance infinite distance and anywhere in the midel

Why?

So every scientist/astronomer in the world is lying? What about all the stuff that was discovered before petrol? And what has the distance to stars got to do with petrol?

I think they are using variable stars in some way to measure distance for those farther than parallax can do.

And raaid. I think it's almost time to bring you in for reprogramming.

The upper-management has been a bit concerned about you of late that you are becoming much to "aware" of processes that the docile masses take for granted and we don't want you becoming the heroine of some new Hollywood-like movie where you overthrow us.

That would not be good for business so it's best you report in either at your local gas station or behind the curtain at your local black-suit habadashery so we can make the process more bearable for you. Otherwise we may have to continue tracking you with the usual satellites, streetcams, tapped phones, and tv-cams until the ideal moment arrives. We could always wait for the newly formulated chem-trails in your area to take effect but that'll depend on how much farther you intend to dig into things.

Resistance is ultimately futile so make things easier on yourself.
