@DNA Thumbs drive,
you've never been correct asshole, you are dancing in in obsessions.
You are afraid of fact aren't you.
Ive sucked you into another corner from which you need to scape.
If I measure speed of a car and I use Doppler radar, a speedometer and Passage time
between two known points. Is that not verification?
HMMMM?
In science, (I know you have a hard time with science but Ill go slowly). e "verify" a quantitation often by doing overlapping measurements using several different methods.
SO. when we measure the distance to the stars
1. we have several means of redshift determination
2. we have determinations of luminosity v periodicity for cepheids and red ends of galaxies and pulastions of galaxies
3we have occultation of stars with planets
4we do parallax measurements (triangulation in different planes seasonal variations or on lunar positions using the Fresnel refletors left on the moon surface by the Apollo 11 and 16 crews.
You lost this one when you first opened your dumass yap.
