Off Topic Dark Matter and other Astronomy information.

Love it

 

yeah the guys like that spiel, they always pitch the new project as being the dogs bollocks, then the bugs start appearing because the testing was half arsed and the project budget and time constraints kick in.
Don't you know, us IT people like to make it as coomplicated and problem prone as possible
#gottajustifyourexistence

 

That bloke and all that ancient aliens stuff is complete bollocks I am sure you'll agree.

The truth might be that there have been advanced civilisations (not with spaceships or computers as we know them) and their techniques have been lost due to cataclysmic events in earth's history. Take the stuff I mentioned earlier about closer planet orbits and electrical interactions between planets, they are enough to completely strip away every trace of a given civilisation, the few survivors hide in caves ect and come out and are essentially cave people again with all the advancement in knowledge lost forever and having to be relearned.

if such a thing happened today suddenly, we'd revert to same, cave people

 

Just on this one point - Experts in Oriental studies have claimed that no verifiable Chinese inscriptions or Ming wrecks have ever been found outside the known trade area from China to east Africa.

Yes you're right we shouldn't say definitely when we don't know for certain. I will change my comment to 'highly unlikely' that Columbus used a Chinese map to get to America - he maintained all his life that he'd landed in Asia anyway, never acknowledging America!

 

Are these experts Oriental? Menzies work ranges from inscriptions, maps, cartography, animals, fruits, laquer works, navigation and a whole other lot of stuff even genetic descendents. Like I said compelling reading even if not all correct.

"Verifyable" is an important word and in this case it is used in the negative towards Menzies work when it should be neutral, it could or could not disprove accepted history.

I could imagine historians when they read his claims tho..

EDIT The wrecks, Menzies is a seaman and navigator, they have been found where the chinese would have to had traveled during their journey, even if they are unconfirmed, that is interesting.

 

Must already have happened in Latchford, then

 

Sure looks like it

That must be the making of the ship canal. A few of your native Irish bit the dust digging that ****er

 

Show me an large building site where someone hasn't died

It is interesting but from what I've read there's so many flaws, that what he claimed, could never have happened.

 

And I'm sure the accpted history is flawless..

because people agree on it

Do you remember being taught Columbus was a ****ing monster and was the father of the slave trade at school?

 

'Accepted' history isn't flawless, we all know the victors write the history!

 

true that. I remember what I was taught in school, then I learnt the real history thereafter. State school taught history is mostly propaganda in every country in the world

 

School 'history' mostly presents you with a few peoples views on a few things - you start learning when you start questioning and challenging those views ... that is if you want to ............ You could say names, dates, places are important but you have to research to find out exactly what happened... and more importantly .... why!

 

Van Allen called the conspiracy theories regarding radiation as 'preposterous'. Gemini XI spent more time in and around the Van Allen Allen belts than any of the Apollo missions. Bill Anders, a real particle physicist and radiation specialist who flew on Apollo VIII (unlike that ****ing charlatan Ralph Renee, who tried to pass himself off as a physicist in one farcical conspiracy-fest) estimates the 4-day journey (5.6 and 7 on later missions) exposed them to little more radiation than working a year in a nuclear power station.

Now this IS a problem when were talking a year, 18 months in deep space on the voyage to Mars, especially if journeys slingshot around the sun to gain speed. In fact, this is why Buzz aldrin, amongst others, suggests a one way ticket for the initial pioneers until shelters can be transported to Mars (constructed in space, as you suggest) and spacecraft themselves can be shielded. And it should be middle-aged people like myself (or those with appropriate skills anyway) making that trip.

Even then, as in the Apollo programme, a solar flare will kill people unshielded in its path. Nevertheless, these are better odds than our ancestors faced crossing oceans. Think how many Pacific islanders died populating those islands by crossing that vast ocean on flimsy little rafts. Humans must explore.

 

And yes I agree, history is important and that is why it is re written, the lessons of history are important.

 

That I was not aware of, the Gemini 11 mission that is. Just read their orbit as 1,370 km (highest ever orbit), the second Van Allen belt is from 1000 km to 60,000 km so they just ventured barely inside of it to be fair. I reckon that was for reasons of safety.
The belts can indeed be dangerous depending on circumstances as there can be intense radiation flux that can reach levels to do significant damage to human cells and DNA and the craft its self, newer satelites are even more prone to damage than the old ones due to smaller circuits being able to absorb smaller charges. This would be singificantly more exposure than working at a nuclear plant, but that is vague, are we talking a decades ago nuclear plant or a modern one, there is a difference, the former giving more exposure. This radiation is trapped within the belt and travels around the earth.

So I am not sure the Gemini mission is a good yard stick for how dangerous the belts are.
The presence of the high radiation fluxes in the Van Allen belts limits long duration manned missions to operation below about 1200 km altitude.

Then there is radiation all the way to the moon too once you venture outside of our magnetosphere. So, that's a lot of radiation for those astronauts with no apparent effects.

This is why I am "suspicious" People can live a lie if they believe it is "for the good of the nation"

 

Behave. The Apollo missions passed through @ 20,000mph and were through it in hours. Gem XI stayed there for days.

 

Faulty logic. You can endure low radiation levels for long periods and high radiation levels can damage DNA severely in an hour or less so that doesn't stack up mate.

As an analogy, you can stand next to a fire for a long time and be fine, step into the fire and it won't take long for you to burn to a crisp.

The 1200km distance orbit is an operational standard for safety, I'm not making that up
It's set at that limit because of radiation don't you know.

I think you need to behave.

 

And Conrad and Gordon endured more radiation on Gem 11 than they did on Apollo12
