Stars have no parallax. Space is 100% fake and gay. There is no escaping. @chrimony was begging for this. Her you go. This is your chance to talk about the night sky.

Parallax comes down to an equation with an observer and two objects. Take the distance between the observer and object A. Now multiply that number by two and place object B at that distance.

A quick example would look like this.

A @ 10ft or 500ly

B @ 20ft or 1000ly

It does not matter if it's 20 ft or 1,000 light years. The parallax effect is dictated by these two different numbers and can scale to any number.

So if we were to say that object A is a star at 500ly away. We can still take a timelapse photo of it and see the star trail which is just a recording of its apparent movement relative to our position on the moving Earth. We can print out that timelapse photo and measure how long of a star trail object A made. Let's say in the photo object A made a star trail that was 1" long. If object B is another star at 1000ly away, You would take the apparent distance that object A traveled on your photo and divide it by two. Now you should be able to measure the star trail that object B made. It should be 1/2". If it's not, then at least one of the numbers for distance is incorrect. If the stars show no movement at all relative to each other, then it means those stars are at the same exact distance from the observer. So basic observation and by the laws of perception, the stars in the night sky are a blanket.

Here's a post I made not only debunking the ridiculous claim that Eratosthenes proved the earth was round in 240 BC but I also proved the earth is flat.

That's a little bit different than spinning a thousand mph, revolving around the sun at 67,000 mph, The sun revolving around the Milky Way at 483,000 mph, and the Milky Way galaxy itself moving at 1.3 billion mph and not a single shred of parallax.

You can gawp at big numbers, or you can do the math to show how much parallax you should see. The sun traveling along the Milky Way doesn't matter, as the nearest stars are also doing that. Same with the Milky Way galaxy as a whole, because we only do parallax to stars within the milky way.

So of the motions you mentioned, only the spin of the Earth and the orbit around the sun in a day matter for the star trails.

So let's break it down, from the diagram that I drew, a person would be traveling a thousand miles per hour for 12 hours straight and would have covered 12,450,000 miles.

Break it down then, flattard. Do the math, show me how much parallax is involved for a star 1 light year away over a 24 hour period. I'll wait.
