It would be nice if 11 11 chimed in here, as the creator of the simulation. I'd just like to see some of the parameters explored. For instance, would IES sun be able to emulate the sunlight on another planet in the solar system? What changes would there be after increasing the scale and distance of the drone?

Seriously, how far off from the plane of the arm is the sun then, seeing as you used the EXIF to replicate it? Also, can you actually replicate the LACK of shadow under the arm with the excessive tilt? Perhaps by un-linking that group of objects, although it seems that you no longer have to group objects for them to cast shadows on adjacent groups.

Example of isotropic distribution
A sphere centered around the origin is a representation of an isotropic distribution. All the points in the diagram are equidistant from the center and therefore light is emitted equally in all directions.
Where did you get the idea that I was saying the skewer should be parrallel to the ground?! I said pointing directly at the sun. The point being that some part of the sun will shine on ALL sides of the skewer, even if it is at a very shallow angle, because the sun is BIG. This will NOT happen with a point source.

My contribution in questioning this mess: If the 96% of the UNIVERSE is made up of DARK MATTER and DARK ENERGY, and there are oodles of parallel dimensions and planes of existence, why do these ‘aliens' even have to bother with things we can see and touch? For our entertainment, eh?

Hi pj,
your earth moves a little too fast. Monty Python say:
"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour
and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
a sun that is the source of all our power. "
Wikipedia says, it is about 1000 mph. I also don't understand, why the earth moves faster, while you are up there. If I would stay on the steps and wait for you, I would have the boring part, sitting there for 24 hours and you would enjoy a 45-minutes-ride?
Okay, I won't begrudge you to your part. After all you take the risk to hit the Mount Everest or something like that.
Originally posted by 11 11The problem now Karilla, is that you are trying to modify the simulation to match your belief system. When in reality the simulation is a perfect match with the photograph. This is beyond logic for me, I can't possibly comprehend why on this green Earth would you wan't to change the simulation to fit your belief that this thing is real... I mean, come on, SERIOUSLY, when are people going to wake up and see this thing is just another hoax?

PJ, are you saying that the alien powered drone is in its own absolute space/time/dimensional bubble? Does our concept of relativity and our conception of space/time still apply then? Sounds like you really have an interesting concept there.

PS. Elliot, if you read this, since you are a U.K. resident, what exactly is the reputation of Mr. Colin Bennet over there? And I thought Alfred Lehmberg was a difficult read . . . t

Why must you try to insult everybody's intelligence while maintaining that you yourself are a genius (I'm referring to the mental simulation comments). Smacks of insecurity to me.

Anyway, does it make sense to create a spacecraft (or drone or time machine for that matter) that could fall apart at any minute if the field generated by the engine could be switched off or otherwise canceled or jammed or blocked? I find that the concept itself is trendy in a sci-fi sort of way, but is it a sound principle to follow, engineering-wise? Any thoughts or comments, please.

So all of you talking about anti-gravity and inertia cancellation, well, your wasting your time because you guys are using existing theorys to build your imagination, when in reality your existing theorys are only half truths. Even then, you have skipped the "proving its real" step, just so you can be decieved by the Devil, its great.
