I understand what you are trying to say soloist in both posts.
but, I don't see the cloud effect on the small craters ... i did look. the small white clouds in the middle of the big cloud ... well, they don't
look anything crater like, honestly ... and the other small craters, well, they look like perfect little craters but no cloudiness ...
and yes, I would say, a cloud is more likely to skip over a valley than a mountain ... if the cloud doesn't first form in the valley, of course,
depending on other factors. Just like parts of the sea that have different salinity look like lakes within water ... it stays separated instead of
diffusing into equal distribution throughout the water, even though it flows above it ... yes, I know, different densities, but the fact is, air at
higher altitude is less dense as well. Not trying to claim the exact same interactions, but a way to relate to something you may know about of
earthly origin.
I understand a little about physics. I was a teacher's aide for AP Physics in my senior year after taking H. Physics in my junior year of h.s.. I
know all about the acceleration effect of gravity on earth being 9.86 meters per second per second. I know all about doing equations in a vacuum. I
have watched the astronaut experiment on the moon. I definitely see what you are getting at, BUT ... and you won't like this ... we take for
granted that film is from the moon and not done in a vacuum chamber. We take for granted how THICK our atmosphere is close to the surface and how
much resistance it causes. Heck, even as a kid a neighbor and I used to see how well we could fold a piece of paper (airplanes) to make it stay in
the air the longest with different nose designs, paper weights, dimensions, wing designs, air foils ... we were quite innovative for little 4 year
olds with a stack of paper
I would say, the fact that our air is so thick here, it would alter our perception of reality elsewhere in different environmental specifications and
possibilities of other conditions we also have no first-hand experience of ... unless you have a large scale facility that can manipulate air
pressure and have conducted various experiments as to how things drop at minimal air density with little to no wind, and virtually no temperature and
composition differences, or you have been to the moon personally.
The fact is, we know what we are told, and have to extrapolate data from very few poor condition photos from a half century ago. Trillions of dollars
worth of photos that we are not allowed to view, that the public paid for, and what we do get is either on par with a telescope on earth, or has
obvious smudge-work done on a photo manipulation program (photoshop/gimp). You may say it might be a data error. I guess you never touched up a
photo yourself? I can say with personal experience, I have used techniques on gimp and can make it look the same, but, usually I can do so much
better ... the point is, they don't care, it is obscured, and any extra effort would as or more suspect, so why bother. And once you admit they
have lied about one thing, at all, then the trust factor should be diminished and anything they say should be questioned. If a wife cheated on you,
then said, I am going to a hotel with an old high school friend, it is strictly plutonic ... do you believe it? If they lied about something
smaller, wouldn't that just mean it would be that much easier to lie about something bigger? Logically yes. But they are the authority, we MUST
trust them, right?
I respect your conviction and your opinion, even if I don't always agree, i give most that much (not everyone, spitefulness and hate I will not
respect).
I would say to test you on photos, but it isn't as fun if you know you are being tested
It would be much more fun if you had no idea and were
given a group of photos to analyze ... mixed with moon, earth desert, mars, and venus landscapes ... and guess which one is which. Of course, any
obvious give aways would need to be cropped out (or smudged lol) ... and of course images that are not immediately recognizable or easily found with
a quick search. In fact, I would enjoy the same test given to me, since I hardly see the structures unless they are more blatant, even after being
pointed out, I couldn't pick them out again on my own ... I need the reference pictures.
But if you can honestly say that all things mean nothing, then that is fine. That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. I just have browsed a
lot of threads and a lot or random sites and am starting to see links ... I am starting to form a possible time line in my head. Doesn't matter
much, short of us finding a civilization elsewhere including text ... deciphering the text, then not allowing anything that doesn't conform to what
is already believed to be labeled as fiction and fantasy ... we might get some enlightening information.
Either way, it is fun. That is what you have to remember. Have fun in life ... you only have this body once, make the best of it. Taken too
seriously, life is a drag. Not to say live with your head in the clouds
Just with a smile and an open mind that nearly anything is truly
possible, and we know about jack when it comes to our own dna, bodies, animals, plants, oceans, core, volcanoes, earthquakes, weather ... how do
these jokers who send a few probes know so much about other worlds people haven't been to, or haven't for a few decades suppose to tell you
everything about it with a straight face? Think about it ... they don't know what is at the bottom of our oceans ... they find new sea life nearly
every year ... but they know what is going on millions of miles away ... HA ... you are a comedian. The only way they would know, is, if life was
there and was telling them the answers they had come to for their own terra firma ...
so which is it?
do they know next to nothing and spout whatever farce they wish us to consume at that moment? or are they in active communication with other worldly
beings? or, I guess one final one ... they know much more about our planet than they would ever tell us, and if they would lie to use about our own
place of existence, what would stop them from lies told about all other things outside of this immediate realm?
The choice is yours ... but the logic behind limiting itto those decisions is rather sound in its own way
Thanks for putting up with me
