Do they communicate with these objects that are 100 million + miles away? Impossible.

Radio signals are electromagnetic waves and trough vacuum (space) they move with the speed of light ( light itself is an electromagnetic wave also) and can move great distances.

No way images can travel that far and not lose data somewhere along the way. Too much radiation to interrupt the signals. Try again!

Already answered. Even amateurs can do it, with a sufficiently large dish. Your argument from personal incredulity is not proof nor is it logical. I get the feeling you're here to troll. Go somewhere else.

Your computer disk drives (and disc drives) are often constantly misreading data, it is just "corrected" in sophisticated ways that you don't know about.

Here is a good example.

You're starting with the assumption that it doesn't work. It does. It isn't magically "disrupted" just because there's "radiation" in space. Earth's atmosphere has air glow, but that doesn't mean that distant stars and galaxies can't be seen through it. Like I said, with a sufficiently large dish you can listen to distant probes yourself.

Re: Mars rover and other space crap! How in the hell?????
I recommend a brushing up on something first, before the stupidly easy shit...

It fits in perfectly with the conspiracy angle of the forum...

Thread: Corruption of Science: Destruction of the U.S. Constitution

Who Cares If Neutrons Repel and Stars Make Hydrogen?

Government by the people depends on public access to reliable information. The integrity of our government thus depends on the integrity of government science.

For the past sixty-eight years the scientific community has lied to Congress about the energy (E) stored as mass (m) in cores of atoms, planets, stars and galaxies. Why? Fear and a deep sense of guilt and remorse for having released that energy to vaporize Hiroshima and Nagasaki and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians on August 6 and 9, 1945 ..

Thread: A first-year Elementary school primer of "Nuclear Science" + First-year undergraduate primer in 1 post

As a follow-up (or preliminary) to the "corruption of science / destruction of U.S. Constitution" thread, I'd like to share this ridiculously simple video.

It is ridiculously simple, because it just is that simple.

So here is the first-year elementary school primer (which could also be a children's book...):

...and here is the first-year undergraduate primer:

COMPOSITION OF THE SOLAR INTERIOR:
INFORMATION FROM ISOTOPE RATIOS


ABSTRACT

Measurements are reviewed showing that the interior
of the Sun, the inner planets, and ordinary meteorites
consist mostly of the same elements: Iron, oxygen,
nickel, silicon, magnesium, sulfur and calcium [1].
These results do not support the standard solar model.

I read that it only mentions giant antennas. Ok great big antennas . You mean they can send a signal that far with no disruption? Space is constantly changing shape and direction. The signal would get off track.
