"We" would if we had read chapter 5. It took me less than 2 minutes to find this, btw.

Super easy to repeat, you don't really need a camera since you can use your eyes, but it helps. Exactly! The demonstration breaks down easily. Told you so. ;) I'm always happy to see people reproduce these simple experiments. Most FE science doesn't require a big budget. Let's not forget that...

PDF, page 17; or the website. Accuracy is 0.05%, as expected for a 3-digit measurement.

When I find a dead body at the scene of a car accident, with injuries commensurate with the accident, I'm not going to check whether the poor guy was poisoned unless shown probable cause. I did check the NIST NCSTAR 1A for the evidence they used: The question that NIST is hoping to answer...

To have the maximum lip diameter be pi times the opening radius requires design. It's not hard to achieve if you have a disc the size of the hole, fit a thread around the disc and halve that to get the diameter measurement, but that is a geometric operation (well within the reach of any crafter)...

after seeing a much too large number of people believing that dying "with Covid" somehow doesn't count, it no longer "seems strange" to me. It's apparently human nature.

yeah, but the maths is also either enriched with mumbo-jumbo, or bears the hallmark of a dillettante. Basically, their argument goes, "there's geometry and maths, therefore some kind of computer was involved", and it's bunk. Nothing in their geometry is beyond Pythagoras, and I dxpect ancient...

thank you! so the outer surface varies by as much as 0.1 mm, hmm this feels super sloppy for a modern lathe, where the quality of the bearings would determine how out of round the object can be, and feels achievable with hand tools that's 0.01 mm, an order of magnitude better than the scan of...

This is a geometric series, with a factor of (square root of 1.5). Labeling the sizes R(3) and R(4) just says one is (square root of 1.5) as big as the other, and R(5) is simply 1.5 times as big as R(3), which doesn't feel like it'd require a computer to design. Why that number? Who knows...

1) the obvious takeaway from your "conclusions" screenshot is that this vase is modern and not ancient. 2) from the site: To explore what kinds of design principles were used in the creation of the object, we started out by measuring and mapping as many features of the object as possible, and...

I understood that you wanted to bring across that the suggestion that a large number of people were mistaken is insulting and not up for debate. Millenia-old wisdom: to err is human (errare humanum est).

I always am, regardless of belief. Who's to say the AI isn't hallucinating data that looks good?

Thank you for taking the time to do a thorough analysis! I have follow-up questions: how much is the error/deviation in plots 3 and 4 in absolute terms? (mm or inches) does this get better or worse when the original centerline is used? what would we expect this error to be if a modern CNC lathe...

I've lived car-less for over three decades of my life and enjoyed it very much. That includes life time with small children, but it stopped when we moved to a small village.

no people are kept in them by removing the possibility to travel outside them which even the Australian lockdown example failed to do open a history book and read up on the Jewish ghettoes in Nazi Germany (e.g. the Warsaw ghetto) if you want to know what keeping people in a zone means 15...

Yes, probably. What evidence do you have that any of these 5 statements is untrue? they all seem overstated, and use needlessly emotional language, but I'd say all photos of a UFO or alien have been misidentified, and witnesses have been wrong about how they interpreted what they saw.

That happens monthly. A lunar standstill or lunistice is when the moon reaches its furthest north or furthest south point during the course of a month (specifically a draconic month of about 27.2 days). The declination (a celestial coordinate measured as the angle from the celestial equator...

mountains? no boats? maybe, refraction can be very wonky close to water roads? yes

yes i don't understand this it's not hidden. If you look at the "tablecloth" between the phone and the fresnel lens, it's uneven, and would look even more so from the smartphone camera's angle. there's no need to assume that. The magnifying effect of the lens means, in broad terms, that that...

you used quotes, not EX or article tags, so that content gets lost when I quote it After the barrage of atmospheric rivers that have swept through California over the past three months, Tulare Lake has not only reappeared, but it has also grown to cover 30 square miles — and could expand to 200...
