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?

well in one server we are working on an experiment with participants across Earth to photograph the moon at the same time

another group is working on a sort of "Eratosthenes experiment" doing the same thing but measuring the length of a shadow from the sun

Dude. Very cool

yeah we have people everywhere now. East to west coast USA, Western/Eastern Europe, Australia, Japan etc... need to find a couple in China. that would be cool

oh and.... there is one guy on the moon. though I doubt he's still alive...

😂

I need more info on that, seriously

But I gtg run errands

Thanks for answering my questions, this has been really cool

yeah was very nice talking to you. good chat. seems rare these days 🙂
