complex analysis too iirc

You mean you don't utilize Poincaré Dodecahedral Space? My illusions are shattered.

there is a spectrum from theoretical physics to cosmology to astrophysics to astronomy (although the difference between these last two may be illusory). at one end it's pretty much all maths, and at the other it's pretty much all statistics and/or instrumentation

interesting! thank you.

i would ask more detailed questions, since i am interested in auditing some classes, but it sounds like i need to figure out where on that spectrum my interests fall before asking more questions

ah. if you're auditing graduate level classes (rather than doing research) then the stats/machine learning stuff is going to be much less important.

idk, you say it's not a shop but i need more evidence before i believe in the moon. cool photo tho.

I recognize that these images are generally hyper-colorized for legitimate scientific reasons, to accentuate structures that would not be nearly as visible without it, but they always leave me with a certain sense of artificiality, like fashion model photos with all the skin blemishes photoshopped away.

I just noticed that you can see the reflection of the moon in the ocean.

that's the reflection of the sun

sunned in a celestial beef, dang

:(

aw! icarus, o icarus.

Icky for short

caek you have probably seen this but for those that have this thread bookmarked check out this gif of flyby of pluto from a video nasa posted:

Why does the sock monkey look away from us?

i have not seen that! nuts!

In this small section of the larger crescent image of Pluto, taken by NASA's New Horizons just 15 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach on July 14, 2015, the setting sun illuminates a fog or near-surface haze, which is cut by the parallel shadows of many local hills and small mountains. The image was taken from a distance of 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers), and the width of the image is 115 miles (185 kilometers).

hi pluto

I thought about photoshopping the Alien derelict in there but I'm a stickler for realism and at that scale it would be about 1 pixel across.

there's a kickstarter lol

People please go look at the dodgy CGI graphics. If your mind tells you that that is the way a lunar module looks when taking off (like a B grade hollywood production) then you my friend have been indoctronated to a point where fantasy trying to imitate reality has actually become reality. All fake. There is no photo of earth. On apollo 17 they supposedly took a whole bunch. Of a perfectly round earth...but wait. We are on an oblate shperoid? And more recently we have found out we are on a pear shaped oblate spheriod? According to todays most foremost bullshit artist on the universe. Neil Degrasse Tyson. Makes you wonder about the automatic earth shape corrective lenses they must have had on their cameras. And why?
There is no real picture of earth. If you guys find one send it. Im betting it will be some image from the Galileo satelite, or from the apollo missions or from the space station. If those are the ones anyone is going to put forth then so be it. I will show you why every singlo one of them is fake.
We didnt go to the moon. And Nasa lost all the original documentation and data of the supposed greatest achievement in mankinds history when american courts ordered NASA to hand over their data.
Sound plausible?
If so i can do nothing for you people. You want to believe something, then fine. We are all allowed to have our dreams. But then dont taut your views as if you have proof of them. Let those moon missions expand your imagination of what it could be like. Because we havent gone there. Just out of interest.

Oh and another bombshell. It is flat. Que the science i know all too well and Ill explain it away for you:

Daniel Clark · Penryn College
Yeah sure. And then they lost all the data and recordings. Come now man. Let's put our thinking caps on. They lost 800 boxes worth of data on man's most important achievement? After Nasa fought a freedom of information request by the public to have the data kept hidden. Then they get ordered by the US supreme Court to hand over the documents as the public have the right to the project they funded. Then NASA said they lost the footage! Really? Come now people. You don't have to be a tinfoil wearing idiot to see a lie.

And Seumas. You don't know me. You don't know the capability of my mind. I investigated the moon landings and all space travel at length. It's filled with holes. Your education is programming friend. Please tell me you don't believe propoganda is just a word used in reference to the past because then you're just naive. Enjoy paying billions to nasa for fake pictures and rotating earth footage that shows no change in cloud formations over a 24 hour spin around its own axis. Yeah you keep your education mate. Didnt teach you much about logic and thinking for yourself. They just taught you which answers to give in tests if you want to move on to the next one.

And just a simple point that I shouldn't have to make. Talking to someone who tells you what they have done without being under oath doesn't count as proof. Also. Why is the earth's size in their videos wrong? Why is it virtually the same size from the supposed moon they landed on as the moon is from earth? How did they get past the van Allen belts without even having discovered them at the time of the lunar landings? The astronauts wore no protective gear against a threat they didn't know about. The severity of the radiation they would have experienced would have started affecting them during their trip if they were even lucky enough to survive it. So seems Jim lied to your face man.

can't wait for caek's response to these allegations

i like the "why didn't russia say it was a hoax, since they clearly could have picked up the radio signals coming back?" argument

extraordinary claims require not running your mouth off like a damn fool
