Calling All Amateur Astronomers! How far away are stars? How do we determine this distance? What makes it reliable?

You have not mastered high school math and physics yet, have you, kid?
Quoting: The CommentatorNice insult. You can take a hike if you will continue on with that sort of attitude. High School Physics theories constantly being outdated and updated, ask anyone who has attended college. This has nothing to do with high school math or physics, it is far beyond just basic high school math or physics. It has to do with critical thinking, of which you fail apparently. Please if you are commenting on this topic, please take the time to read this whole paper, it has many pages. At least skim over them. I repeat, you did not master high school math and physics. If parallax is incorrect, suppose you show us the math showing the basic trig is wrong. if you can't do that you are just spouting bullshit you don't understand. Ball is in your court, skippy. You seem to misunderstand my intentions. I am not arguing that the formula of measuring Parallax is an incorrect formula. I am arguing about the consistency of parallax measurements. I don't have the capability to measure parallax or I would gladly do the calculations myself. The History of measuring parallax is sketchy not in its methodology, but in it's agreement of measurements. Taking measurements of Parallax involves getting data 6 months a part from each other and comparing them. I don't have access to even the smallest of telescope, thus I am asking amateur astronomers who reside on GLP. Why don't you spend some time at a university library and look up the history of these measurements from the source, not some crackpot on the web...
