I have related the mandatory scientific methods of experimentation and peer review of same for validation purposes. Obviously, you are unaware of correct scientific procedures.

Get this through your head. I will not attest to anything I did not personally see or hear. If that does not suit you, tough.

Unless, you have mastered out how to see through someone else's eyes and hear through someone else's ears, then in all physical reality, it is quite personal, isn't it? Now why don't you try to prove someone saw and heard what he or she states was not seen and heard? Or let it go, because it can be neither proved nor disproved due to subjectivity always naturally occurring.
Unless, you are civil, reasonable, and logical in the future, expect no future responses.

I still see no answer, scientific or not, to the question of how an image created by light of any kind can be made darker than the medium it's projected onto. There are other difficulties that could possibly (but highly unlikely) be overcome but this one stands as proof that no images even partially convincing could be projected against a background of clear morning sky.
But the thread isn't really about answers or science is it

Oh I'm very serious about holograms. I have studied holograms almost my entire life. Orionstars is very right about them and their powers. When I was seven my aunt fell off a boat and couldn't swim and nearly drowned. The doctors used holograms to save her.
If you break down the word it's very easy to understand why it is capable of such elaborate usefullness.
Holo - nothing inside.
Gram - a unit of measurement used to indicate something measured.
So what you have is a unit of measurement with nothing inside. All you need is a bunch of these "grams" and any level of hologram is possible to acheive. I don't understand why this is so difficult for people to understand.
Anyway, I think that holograms will one day save the world. Good night.

When you go to an indoor theater or drive-in, do you see a stream of colors all the way to the screen? Or do you see a bright white light, in the darkness, from the projector, and then a picture on the screen?

That is the same with all light waves no one can actually see. They are invisible to the eye when they are streaming. Until waves reflect on solid matter, no light will be seen.

Until waves refract, no color will be seen.

That is also elementary school science or was. If it no longer is, it should be.

With laser, unless colored for some reason, no waves will be seen until they hit something to reflect, and, then, refract them for color if producing color is the intent.
A laser has a colour (wavelength) BEFORE it refracts or reflects from ANYTHING!
White light has ALL the visible colours in it, and when a filter is used, all the colours but the one in the filter get stopped. Only the colour the same as the filter will go through it.
This is NOT adding colour to light. This is taking ALL THE OTHER colours AWAY!
This is why it's called a "filter", not a "colour adder". because it STOPS colours and lets only one pass.

When Patrick Swazy appeared as a ghost, he was not, in fact, a hologram, but used what we in the movie business call "temporary opague transducence h20". You drink an ionized source of water, and for exactly three minutes your body becomes, in essence, "see-thru".
.
Now, as for the Star Wars movies, you are correct. They did use holograms there. In fact, despite claims to the contrary, Ewan McGregor, the actor who played Obi-Wan, never acted in the films. Only a hologram of him was used.
Thank you, Captn Crunch.
I looked at the special effects in "Star Wars", of which the holograms were sensational. Not particalarly realistic, because they lacked depth and density, but sensational nevertheless.

Not many people know this, but Casablanca relied heavily on holograms. Of course the technology was primitive back then, hence the black and white look of the holograms, but those were some great holograms. If anyone wants to learn more about holograms in movies, please PM me.

The big question -
How can an image produced by projected light be made darker than the background?
Think about what 'black' actually is and find a way to actually project blackness if you can.
That would imply the alleged technology can absorb photons selectively in a free-floating medium IE pseudo-science of the worst kind.

The way this discussion has been moving, I may not have caught anything about any experiment.
Originally posted by OrionStars
This is another bit of reality. People, claiming they have "facts", are not always in the objective position to realize their "facts" may be nothing but what they always possessed - subjective opinions.
Originally posted by OrionStars
As for experiments, if no one else can arrive as the same conclusion you do using your methodology, all you still have left is personal opinion hypothesis. Are are you aware of that?

I simply posted what the scientists in the article stated. Are you saying they're wrong? Here is your post. Please explain why a water source changes everything including the scientists statement of the 1 sqr. mile space mirror.
It had nothing to do with what they said. They were talking mirrors. You agreed with them.
I was referring to smog and humidity hanging over Manhattan. Humidity and smog are excellent light beam reflectors and refractors for hologram use. Just like laser light shows using smoke machines to make laser light beams visible for the human eye.
