not impossible

but not easy

Yeah, I get that :/

but wouldn't it be an epic experiment 🙂

lots of folks would have to answer lots of questions if the hypothesis is accepted

I just wonder....if everyone spends their time playing pingpong with "the Earth is flat" and "no it's not" and "yes it is" and "*insults your mom*" that we won't actually get anywhere :(

absolutely

that's why I always say that flat earthers are the scientists. we are the ones (mostly) actually going out and doing experiments

Nikon must love us 🙂

helping to sell lots of P900 and P1000 cameras. they should give us an endorsement

XD

Nice

they could name their next model the FE2000

I think, first, I'd like to see what we do accept from the mainstream in order to avoid spending money on unnecessary duplicates

no need. this is very common in science....to replicate experiments

happens every day

Like you were saying the mass spectrometry. Do we need to prove that the machines are accurate, or can we just buy one?

you mean to assay atmospheric samples?

if so..that's a no-brainer.

in fact we could contract the work out. send the samples to a lab. even better since they are independent

do as a single blind experiment

Yeah. Like, what tools are we willing to use without going thru the cash to prove it?

well to date mostly cameras and lasers

or even just flashing a mirror across a lake

that's pretty cheap

several of those have been done

Once we get a good understanding of things we *don't* question, it will be a whole lot easier to organize the hypotheses that need to replace current models

well that's tricky. you don't want to confine yourself too much with boundary conditions that *could* be wrong

We'll, that's science

Once we know what's wrong, we can figure out where to adjust the experiments

but most important is to clearly specify the assumptions being made

Right, absolutely

control as many variables as possible

and do in replicate

Yush

e.g. I would like to do moonlight cooling experiments

not too expensive. just lots of planning

and need ideal conditions to coincide

Oooh, very cool

hoping to do it here in the alps

Can you get ppl in different locations to do the same experiments?
