Should I test that variant contention?
Perhaps I should connect a 9v transistor battery to the grounded and tested GFCI outlet in my kitchen. I could measure the voltage at regular intervals.
(Actually, I had my ATmega measuring and logging a 9v battery over a period of fourteen hours -- but that was to check the total system life and power drain curve of a specific project.)
I can think of two flaws in this test, however. Both of them are flaws in the meta-test. The first is that although most of us know the high internal impedence of a VOM and know how little current it draws, IDW might object that taking the reading would throw off the results significantly enough to render them useless.
The other, more pertinent meta-flaw in the test as described is that IDW would refuse to accept the data and simple claim the tester was lying.
IDW, again I must ask you to turn your intelligence towards this problem. In what way could I set up a test of a 9v battery discharging that would satisfy you that it was carried out honestly? |

It IS matching impedance to the circuits requirements. .o1 ohms is NOT the rated impeadance, its the impeadance between the red and black terminal.

The rest of what you said is terrible tasting gravy. Lets concentrate on the proper experiment. YOU CANNOT connect the battery to a house ground to get a reliable result, because electrons may be flowing through the ground circuit already. A simpler way to prove it is thusly:
Drive a ground rod four feet into the ground, preferably copper. Connect the 9 volt batterys negative terminal to the grounding rod through a conductor of as close to zero ohms as possoible. Measure voltage of battery. Measure it four hours from now, or even every hour, for three days. |

The answer is simple. The reality of the Apollo Missions can not be conclusively proven. NOTHING can be conclusively proven, not in this universe. There will always be some possible alternative that has yet to be explored.
If nothing else, there are meta-alternatives that by their very nature can not be falsified; such as, the theory that the universe we know is merely a dream, or a simulation in a computer, or a story being read aloud to a four-year-old child.
However, those who chose to believe that the Apollo Program was faked in part or total, attempt to argue their point by showing where the program as described violates science as currently understood and engineering as currently practiced.
To make this claim, the claiment must (self-evidently) know the science or engineering of which he speaks. He also must be able to show that the documentation of the Apollo Program makes a differing claim.
This rapidly boils down, in the debating arenas of message boards and late-night radios, to a debate on whether the claiment is correctly applying the science in question, and whether their understanding that Apollo violates that science is, in fact, correct.
In plain English, when someone shows up on YouTube or on Coast to Coast and says "The Apollo Missions were faked!" they will at once trot out an argument as to why; for instance, in IDW's case, that the lander was dynamically unstable and would be unable to make a soft landing as described.
In the case of most hoax claimers, the argument rapidly moves to the form;
"Here is the science showing how a soft landing is possible."
"Your science is wrong. My science says it isn't possible."
In the specific case of IDW, he asks that his pronouncements be given weight simply because he made them. In the typical format of an IDW argument; "It was impossible; I know the science and you don't know anything."
It is perhaps neither polite nor efficient, but often the arguer moves on at that point to showing that IDW does in fact not know the science in question. |

You miss the point (not unsurprising.)
You can't prove gravity always works. All you can state is that it has worked every time SO FAR. You have no proof that gravity will not switch off tomorrow leaving us all floating.
You also can't prove that gravity is the result of mass. It could be the result of legions of invisible angels pushing down on everything on Earth.
Absolute proof is not possible in this universe. There will always be a possibility of new data, or a new theory.
For instance, footprints and other signs of human activity made on the moon and observed by several independant investigators would prove conclusively a manned mission occured.If they were ever there, they are there now. Quoting: IDW 316817
No, they would be strong indicators. How can you prove that the "independent" investigators weren't bought off? Or that a secret mission preceded them to quickly walk around a bit? Or that NASA didn't outfit one of those handy rock-collecting robots the hoax believers love to believe in with a pair of size 11 1/2 wides?
That's just off the top of my head. Given the energy of the hoax community I'm sure many, many other arguments against the "proof" you offer could be constructed.
Again, the universe does not support the idea of absolute proof.
And yet you cannot show in even one instance where you have proved that claim. NOT ONCE.All youve really shown is that I dont subscribe to the same rediculous beliefs that you do, in otherwords nothing. Quoting: IDW 316817
Which is not the same as understanding the science. Regardless of whether your theories are superior, you have been shown over and over to be less than educated in the theories you oppose.
Which makes your own opposition to them seem more rooted in emotion and less in fact. Basically, you are the man standing out there saying "I refuse to follow the rest of you in believing the sky is green!"

1) I've admitted errors made in the past. I'm honest enough to report the results of an experiment regardless of outcome (if I wasn't, then there'd be no point for me in doing the experiment in the first place).
2) I've asked you, repeatedly, for any proof I could supply that would not be rejected. Apparently coming up with a proof is beyond your intellectual capacity. Perhaps I should try instead!
3) I've asked other posters to this forum to reproduce the experiment and find the results. So far, two have reported in with physical inspections. I will stand by the findings of others on this thread (NOT you, IDW) if they fail to reproduce my results. |
