Re: A bridge to the stars
One example of a base line for parallax measurement is the distance earth moves in six months. That is a huge distance. It involves a big piece of spacetime. If you admit time exists here, then time exists with the space. Not sure what you are missing here.
Curiously paralax is not used, so you bringing this up only demonstrates a lack of understanding.
Go ahead and play your little game about knowing distance from ring to star though. Ha.
The speed of anything around the SN is not known unless the distance to the SN is known. To get that distance you cannot assume that a slice of time and space in the solar system is equal to a slice of time and space where the stars are!
As the checker game demonstrates "speed of anything around the SN is ..." irrelevant.
It appears that you failed to comprehend this simple fact that is self-evident to children. Using the di for distance moved in a turn represents different speeds.
FAIL #7 now I do believe.
You just keep racking them up.

Re: A bridge to the stars
You can't use anything for distance. Gong! To do so assumes time exists and space equally all the way. Your game fails.

Starman's total absence of argument via empty assertions
You can't use anything for distance. Gong! To do so assumes time exists and space equally all the way. Your game fails.
And we have another desperate assertion of denial without any supporting evidence. Fail #13.
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Another starman failure
You can't use anything for distance. Gong! To do so assumes time exists and space equally all the way. ...
Just in case you missed it we can consider the di throws to be arbitrary variations in distance rather than time. The end result is the same -- that we KNOW the distance from the star to the ring and we KNOW the angle between the star and the ring.
We can even assume that both time and distance vary and the result is the same.
... Your game fails.
Says the person who's only arguments are denial and repeated assertions of falsified claims.
FAIL #13
Enjoy

To know distances in the universe you need to have time exist there as it does here. Can you demonstrate that it does exist there and exist the same as here?
I don't need any of this.
I'm not trying to know distances in the universe exactly.
I'm only trying to know distances in the universe good enough.
And, for the purposes of knowing that those distances are millions/trillions of miles, time works "close enough" there as it does here for such calculations.
If those calculations were wrong, we would never be able to put satellites into orbit, or track other spacecraft/comets/asteroids as deeply into space as we have.
Since those calculations are correct for the things we can definitively know, it is safe to assume that they are "close enough" for the precision we require in applying those same calculations to far-away stars.
The precision we require is down to "millions/trillions of miles" away. Not down to the nearest inch.
You would only be correct if I were attempting to claim that we know how far stars are away from us down to the nearest inch.
But I'm not doing that, so your issue with my claim that we know stars are millions/trillions of miles away is irrelevant.

This point of reasoning is navely correct.
It is possible that space and time exist differently at another place in the universe.
As possible as it is that space and time exist differently at your house while you're at work.
But everything we're able to test/measure/check shows that space and time exist pretty much the same at your house and your work regardless of where you are.
As well, everything we're able to test/measure/check shows that space and time exist pretty much the same here as it does at far away stars.
Can it actually be different?
Of course it can.
And the first person to show that it is different, will get a Nobel Prize.
Just as the first person to show that space and time are different between your house and your work depending on where you are will also get a Nobel Prize.
They are equally as likely, equally as verified, and equally as assumed.
You can toss your chips where you like, and the rest of us can continue to make progress.
Progress is made basing our assumptions and tests on our continuing growth of knowledge.
When those tests or measurements show an issue and indicate that something different is going on - that is where we stop until we can understand the differences.
However, when those tests or measurements do not show any issues going on - that is where we continue with our confirmation and verifications so that we can grow and make progress.
We do not, ever, stop and study possible issues just because some guy on the internet writes a few sentences without any tests or measurements to back up their ideas. Such a method would never make progress as there's always some loon thinking they know things about reality that they cannot support. If they are correct, the normal method will identify it well enough (and better than the loon anyway) whenever it runs into it. If they are wrong, they're just a waste a time. Therefore, there is no gain in paying any attention to such loons.

Re: Starman's total absence of argument via empty assertions
The demonstration is that you could not establish that space and time as we know them are homogeneous in the universe. Therefore no distances in the far universe can be determined from here!

Re: Another starman failure
That does not apply to a little star in far off space that we don't know the distance to.
