Quote: "Regarding the Apollo mission, I can't say 100% for sure whether these men walked on the Moon. It's possible that NASA cut corners just to be the first to allegedly go to the Moon. NASA could have covered it up. If some of the film was spoiled, it's remotely possible they may have shot some scenes in a studio environment to avoid embarrassment." —Dr. Brian O'Leary, Ph.D., standby astronaut on Apollo program, FOX TV, "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1138935117048624484&q=conspiracy "Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion- in the long run these are the only people who count." —Robert A. Heinlein

Quote: Neutrinos are an important product of supernovae. In such events, the pressure at the core becomes so high (1014 g/cm³) that the degeneracy of electrons is not enough to prevent protons and electrons from combining to form a neutron and an electron neutrino. Most of the energy produced in supernovas is radiated away in the form of an immense burst of neutrinos. The first experimental evidence of this phenomenon came in the year 1987, when neutrinos coming from the supernova 1987a were detected. It is thought that neutrinos would also be produced from other events such as the collision of neutron stars. The neutrino burst is expected to reach Earth before any electromagnetic waves, including visible light, gamma rays or radio waves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino
Quote: Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: Fnet = m * a The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. As learned in the "The Rocket Simulation" Lab, the acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force of propulsion acting upon the rocket-chair increased, the acceleration of the rocket-chair increased. As the mass of the rocket-chair increased, the acceleration of the rocket-chair decreased. www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/CLASS/newtlaws/u2l3a.html
Quote: In particle physics, quarks are one of the two basic constituents of matter (the other are the leptons). Quarks are the only fundamental particles that interact through all four of the fundamental forces. Quarks come in six flavors, and their names (up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top) were also chosen arbitrarily based on the need to name them something that could be easily remembered and used. Isolated quarks are never found naturally; they are almost always found in groups of two (mesons) or groups of three (baryons) called hadrons. The composite particles made of quarks and antiquarks are the hadrons. These include the mesons which get their quantum numbers from a quark and an antiquark, and the baryons, which get theirs from three quarks. Astronomical observations of helium abundance give consistent results. Results of direct searches for a fourth generation give limits on the mass of the lightest possible fourth generation quark. The most stringent limit comes from analysis of results from the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, and shows that the mass of a fourth-generation quark must be greater than 190 GeV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark Albert Einstein reasoned that energy is equivalent to mass, as famously expressed in the formula E=mc² (1 kg = 90 petajoules). It is thus common in particle physics, where mass and energy are often interchanged, to use eV/c² or even simply eV as a unit of mass. For example, an electron and a positron, each with a mass of 0.511 MeV/c², can annihilate to yield 1.022 MeV of energy. The proton has a mass of 0.938 GeV, making GeV a very convenient unit of mass for particle physics. 1 GeV/c² = 1.783×10−27 kg = 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeV
Quote: Neutrinos are elementary particles. Travelling close to the speed of light, lacking electric charge and able to pass through ordinary matter almost undisturbed, their detection is extremely challenging. Neutrinos were once thought to have no mass, but they are now known to have a minuscule (but non-zero) mass. Most neutrinos which pass through the Earth emanate from the sun and more than 50 trillion solar electron neutrinos pass through the human body every second. The neutrino was first postulated in December, 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli to explain beta decay, the decay of a neutron into a proton and an electron. In 1956 Clyde Cowan, Frederick Reines, F. B. Harrison, H. W. Kruse, and A. D. McGuire published the article "Detection of the Free Neutrino: a Confirmation" in Science, a result that was rewarded with the 1995 Nobel Prize. In this experiment, now known as the neutrino experiment, neutrinos created in a nuclear reactor by beta decay were shot into protons producing neutrons and positrons both of which could be detected. We now know that both the proposed and the observed particles were antineutrinos. In 1962 Leon M. Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger showed that more than one type of neutrino exists by first detecting interactions of the muon neutrino, which earned them the 1988 Nobel Prize. When a third type of lepton, the tau, was discovered in 1975 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, it too was expected to have an associated neutrino. Detection of solar neutrinos, and detection of neutrinos of the SN 1987A supernova in 1987 marked the beginning of neutrino astronomy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino Neutrino astronomy is the science of observing astronomical phenomena by detecting neutrinos, a product of weak thermonuclear reactions going on inside every star. It is still very much in its infancy - the only confirmed extra-terrestrial sources detected so far are the sun and supernova SN1987A. To observe neutrino interactions a large detector mass is required, along with a sensitive amplification system. Given the very weak signal, sources of background noise must be reduced as much as possible. The major sources of detector noise are the showers of elementary particles produced by cosmic rays striking the atmosphere, and particles produced by radioactive decay. To reduce the amount of cosmic rays, the detectors must be shielded by a large shield mass, and so are constructed deep underground, or underwater. The detector design used generally consists of a large mass of water or ice, surrounded by an array of sensitive light detectors known as photomultiplier tubes. This design takes advantage of the fact that particles produced in the interaction of the incoming neutrino with an atomic nucleus typically travel faster than the speed of light in the detector medium (though of course slower than the speed of light in a vacuum). This generates an "optical shockwave" known as Cherenkov radiation which can be detected by the photomultiplier tubes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_astronomy

You know, the theory that visible light is upshifted into an invisible range and hence will not show up on film? But no, I see you'd rather talk about genocide and Richard Nixon and the supposed sexual orientation of scientists. Cause they're so related. Oh, and Piratenews, tell me something... Quote:In Apollo videos, note the lack of mandatory 2.5-second time delay for telephone/radio signals (photons/electrons) to travel 500,000 miles at the speed of light from Earth to Moon to Earth... How can you 'witness' a time delay, Or a lack of one, in recorded video footage? I'm interested in the technique you use to become aware of recorded time delay.

Quote:Originally posted by rue: PN 186,000 mi/sec it's not just a good idea, it's the law I think everyone knows that that speed of light is in a vacuum, and that light's speed can be changed by passing it through different media. And that's how they slowed/ stopped light the way it did - they just had to find the right media.

Quote: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self evident. Marrying means to halve one's rights and double one's duties, to grasp blindfold into a sack hoping to find out an eel out of an assembly of snakes. —Dr Arthur Schopenhauer PhD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer

Quote:Einstein stole E=MC2 from guys in the 1870s, so the "speed limit of light" thing is 130 years out of date. Same with Einie's "infinite mass at light speed" crap, as anyone knows from standing in sunlight. Loony Einstein is worshipped as a god, yet his equations have never been verified by science.

Albert Einstein and just about every other physicist insisted that light travels 186,000 miles a second in free space, and that it can’t be speeded-up or slowed down. But in 1998, Hau, for the first time in history, slowed light to 38 miles an hour, about the speed of rush-hour traffic.
