Why do you keep going back to this when I am not disputing that radio waves travel, and I'm not disputing that light travels. What I am disputing is afferent vision, which means that the visible spectrum works with the brain and eyes differently. And if you call me this name one more time, just one, don't expect me to answer anymore of your stupid posts.

Don't be stupid. Response times in psychology are regularly accurately measured to within tens of milliseconds. There is nothing even remotely difficult about determining when a spot becomes visible. The difference between 1.25 and 2.5 seconds is huge and easily measurable. You don't have to stop and ask the person what they can see. The observer can be the one doing the timing.

I'd like to see an animation of this. I can't imagine this being possible, or accurate.
|
Yes, animation is the only proof!

You can't remember much of anything, can you Peacegirl? You've already forgotten again that it was YOU who stated that you don't want to discuss his main topic at all. Just as you've forgotten my previous posts pointing out how batshit crazy it is to criticize others for not discussing something YOU don't even want to discuss. You are mentally ill, Peacegirl.

I don't want to discuss his first discovery with you because you can't get past your one post about presuppositions. It's the biggest joke of all.
|
Correction: You don't want to discuss his first non-discovery with anyone here. At least that is what you've repeatedly told us. Yet here you are again criticizing others for not discussing what you yourself do not want to discuss. Can you tell me why this behavior should not be viewed as evidence of mental illness?

I have never been to a forum where no one is interested in his first discovery. Since I've been here I can count on one hand the number of people that have shown any interest. It's astounds me.

Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two
Hey, peacegirl, how come when we send a radio (light) message to Rovers on Mars, we have to wait for the response instead of receiving it instantaneously?

Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two
Hey, peacegirl, depending on the time of year, Mars is anywhere between 4 and 20 light minutes distant from earth. This means that when we send a message to the Rovers on Mars, using radio (light), it takes between 4 and 20 minutes for the response to get back to us!
Are you trying to tell us that humans are unable to discern the difference between instantaneous and 4 or 20 minutes?

Here are 2 lies, on every forum you've been on people have been interested in the discovery till you have weaseled and dodged questions and they got discouraged trying to pry information out of you. On this forum people have repeatedly asked you to explain the discoveries but you could only respond with "It's in the 'book"

You're not disputing that light travels! And so now let's go back to the supernova example.
According to YOU, if a star goes supernova, we would see that INSTANTLY, even if the star were 500 light years away! That is YOUR claim!
You also say that light travels, at a finite rate of speed, as well as neutrinos! Great!
This means, ACCORDING TO YOU, that if a star 500 light years away went supernova, we would see this RIGHT NOW on earth. But, ACCORDING TO YOU, we would have to wait 500 years for the photons and the neutrinos given off by the explosion to arrive on earth, since you are not disputing that photons travel, and travel at a finite rate of speed. Right?
So: you say that if a star 500 light years away went supernova, we would see it NOW on earth, but we would have to wait 500 years to register its photons and neutrinos.

Your memory obviously cannot be trusted for what was happening five minutes ago, never mind the history of this thread or what has occurred at other forums. And you just weaselled again. Can you tell me why it should not be viewed as evidence of mental illness that you keep trying to criticize us for not discussing what you yourself no longer wish to discuss?

Of course not, but we're talking about the visible spectrum, and we're talking about 1.5 seconds, not 4 and 20 light minutes.

Excuse me? I asked you a question. If real-time seeing is true, why is radio light from Mars to Earth delayed by between 4 and 20 minutes, depending on the time of year? The distance that light must traverse from Mars to Earth is different depending on the time of year, because sometimes Mars is farther away from Earth than at other times.
Your answer, please?

Not forgotten. Already addressed. Mere boredom does not explain your behavior. Boredom explains why someone does something interesting or that will bring them some kind of satisfaction. It does not explain why you would deliberately return to an environment where no-one thinks you have anything to offer and where everyone thinks you are a delusional and dishonest crackpot. You've repeatedly said that you think you are being unfairly attacked and persecuted. No-one seeks that out just because they are bored.

I said there is a definite connection between the timing of neutrinos and photons, but the problem still exists as to how old these Supernova are, and whether we are seeing just an image from light, or whether we're seeing the real thing.

If real-time seeing were true, you little fool, then we would receive radio messages (light) from Mars instantaneously. But, we don't.
If real-time seeing were true, then, in the visible spectrum, where Mars appears to be in the sky, would be where it actually is. If THAT were the case, then, when we send rockets to Mars, we would calculate the trajectory according to where Mars appears to be in the sky, But, we don't do that, as has been explained to your sorry ass ad nauseum.
If real-time seeing is true, why does NASA calculate trajectories to Mars according to delayed-time seeing, peacegirl?
