If someone painted a big "knob picture" on your car and you took it for a respray you wouldn't be guilty of suppressing free speech and restricting intellectual discourse. Oh, and feel free to delete this off topic post. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18808731 I think there is actual value in letting stupid be seen for what it is and it really doesn't bother me much at all. As for your post mate, I can't disagree with anything you said. Your logic is sound, but there is something interesting about keeping a thread organic and letting everyone see what a topic brings out amongst all the posters. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' |

I don't fully understand how a common lightbulb works and yet, I flip the switch. I mean I've learned about the flow of electrons but really I'm kind of taking it on faith. It's fucking magic. |

It's a scam. He'll never admit to being debunked. It's the same scam that flat-earthers run. You can't legally force them to pay up even though they promised they would. You are educated scientist. Why spread lies? They land the moon at morning time to avoid high heat. Why shadows right under the lander and moon buggy as if the sun is over head during every mission? If there is God, liars will get reward at last. Please remember that. |

Try actually doing the math for once. [link to www.hq.nasa.gov (secure)] This photo was taken at 163 hours 59 minutes 05 seconds into the flight of Apollo 15. Given a launch date and time of July 26, 1971, 13:34:00.6 UT, that means the photo was taken on August 2, 1971 at 9:33:05.6 UT. At that time, the sun should have been 38.2348 degrees above the horizon at an azimuth of 112.4502 degrees from the landing site of Apollo 15. We know the flag in the photo measured 3 feet by 5 feet. Using the 3 foot height of the flag itself, we find that the pole's visible length in the image measures about 8.5 feet. It's titled at an angle though, so its actual height above the ground is roughly 8.4 feet if we assume the photo is perfectly level. Given an expected shadow length of Height/tan(altitude of sun over horizon) we find that the shadow should be about 10.7 feet long. Again using the height of the flag itself in the photo as a reference (about 239 pixels by my measurement) I find that the shadow of the pole measures about 862 pixels or about 10.8 feet in the image. That's within a tenth of foot of the expected shadow length in spite of terrain variations and approximate methods for comparison. If there is God, liars will get reward at last. Please remember that. Quoting: ACIf you even imply a threat, you will get banned for life. Please remember that. Last Edited by Astromut on 02/02/2017 02:39 PM |

Why you still retarded? Try actually measuring the shadows properly when they're perpendicular to the camera and suck on the results: I'm not lying. Try actually doing the math for once.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72766322 Those are jerks. They love to push lies. So sick minded. Sad. We are all brothers. Sad indeed. Let me make a suggestion to another brother. Step away from the YouTube and read some books or take a physics class. It will help you personally while also increasing the intellect of humanity as a whole.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67532571 May as well use a laser for propulsion because it would be way more efficient. Correct, photonic rockets would be very very weedy. They would require huge power sources to produce a tiny amount of thrust. Why delete posts? You can't hide lies. |
