It informs how much is visible though. So multiply by 35% for time of day. then multiply by 12% for reflectivity. Then divide the area in the picture by the total area of the near side of the moon (the entire light of the moon isn’t focused where the astronauts are standing, after all). Not to mention you’re starting at 1 lux when you should be closer to 0.01 or whatever.
So after all these calculations, you understand why the moon’s surface isn’t “blinding.” In fact, you realize it’s a lot like Earth’s surface. Why don’t the rocks blind me? Weird…
Now it’s not “listen to what he says” it’s “listen to what he doesn’t say.”
You can not make this up.
Who needs evidence when you can just say evidence doesn’t matter?
I hate to say this, but this discussion has opened my eyes to exactly how simple GSC really is. The poor guy reads and reads, but he’s unable to actually absorb knowledge.
I found this online. There’s a video embedded on the website. The video talks about how we did have the technology to land on the moon, but did not have the technology to fake it.
I’ve been on his schtick for over a decade now. He pretends he is intelligent, then pretends he has absorbed it all, and then makes up his reality to fit his version of how he wants it to be. Then he defends his made up reality, never admitting being wrong, and dies on his own sword each argument. Wash, rinse, repeat. Oh and each argument he comes away winning in his mind. This thread is a perfect example, facts be damned.
I began looking into mental disorders the other day that match up and had to stop because what I found was not good.
@bikki228 is an “in the closet” racist who pretends he once walked with M. Luther king Jr
SF fell into Q abyss, never to return. But he has always defended his BS, sliding on a sword for each argument as well. Reality be damned and never admitting being wrong
@skeeter, well his mom dropped him on his head when he was 45 yo in 2019 after covid began. Now he has tourrets syndrome.
@IndianaCane seems like a fairly rationale dude for being lost in his ideology. Reminds me of pence. He won’t defend these yahoos, but won’t call them out either for fear of losing one for the conservative team.
Yes I did. I wasn’t talking about radiation. I listed a whole bunch of specifics and not one of them was radiation. Thanks for playing.
There’s definitely some narcissism (I think I’m smarter than the rabble) and some lack of integrity (Whenever I’m wrong it’s semantics), but there’s also a major failing somewhere in his life for it to go so far. Like, maybe his mom told him he was special and he tested gifted but things never really panned out and now he’s resentful and finds comfort in these theories because they’re an easy way for him to feel smarter. But the truth is, once SF is gone from the Shelter, GSC plainly stands out as a borderline crazy person.
Confirmation bias, shutting his eyes to anything that challenges him… just look at all the data in this thread that he has decided to completely skip over just so his theory still works.
Here’s a tip for everyone (including, I try to remind myself, to me) - If you’re not admitting you’re wrong about something on a fairly regular basis, then you’re not learning. It takes intelligence and guts to admit a mistake.
Now that is what truth looks like. It is why I loathe this machismo firebrand trumpian conservatism. Instead of admitting you are wrong, they work overtime to ignore or rebrand reality.
