   Luigi Fortunati to All   
   Measure distances with perspective

   As it goes away, any object on Earth appears to us ever smaller, and as   
   it approaches it seems bigger.   
      
   Is this inverse proportionality between the distance of a known object   
   and its apparent size (theoretically) allow in the future to   
   immediately know a distance simply by measuring one its apparent size   
   without having to synchronize the clocks and without having to wait for   
   a return signal?
