My dear friend, dear professor

Haven't you learnt perspective?

But you'll have an opinion on what I've said.

Tell us, dear professor, illuminate us with your super intelligence



Are we going to indulge ourselves in argumentum ad hominem now?

bigbrain, you have been offered carefully studied enlightenment, but you refuse to accept nor even consider it. But, if you think that ad hom is a good way to argue a point, have at it. There are some people here who enjoy that sort of thing...

In Italy we can say Irak or Iraq indifferently.

Since you are more intelligent than me, WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND PERSPECTIVE?

IT'S A SIMPLE THING, ALSO CHILDREN CAN LEARN IT.

Not only. The money has gone in many pockets obviously.




The pockets are not obvious until they have been identified. And again, that is a staggering amount of money. It would require an equally huge laundering operation, one unprecidented in the annals of organized crime (which is basically what you are accusing NASA of being: an organized crime cartel).

Do elaborate...

What is that trembling of the image before the collapse of the Tower, super intelligent guy?

EXPLOSIVES




More likely someone bumping the camera. While the camera is shaking I saw no evedence of explosions in or on the building. And it was a good long while before the building colapsed after the shaking. If there was explosives at the time of the shaking the building would have colapsed then.

You are jumping to conclutions with very little evedence sir. I recomend you start questioning the first, second, and third conclutions you state your conclutions.

I saw the collapse in person A friend died in the collapse I hid in a building to avoid the collapse (Have you ever seen those film from inside nearby buildings it looked just like that) And let me just say the before the collapse I never saw nor heard anything to indicate explosives, And the trembling in the video you posted is most likely movement of the camera.

Several years of drafting and art school. I know perspective quite well, thank you.

What's DOF, smart guy?

Nope.

When big heavy objects fall down, the weight crashing to the ground shake it.

No big whoop there. Anyone who have been near a grain silo when you beat the side of it after you auger out all the grain can tell you that one.

http://www.rit.edu/~smo5024/papers/wtc/

The force exerted to the ground was that of a earthquake of an intensity of 2.1 on the Richter scale. Therefore, the person with the camera was feeling the shock wave of the core collapse.

It even has pretty pictures for you showing the collapse, too.

I rather think that they already know, they who have invested so much time in trying to inform you.

I fail to see what this is in aid of. If I'm not mistaken, the income of the Vatican is well accounted for. And the existance of God has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Thus do I piss naplam upon your straw man and the red herring in his pocket.

Don't play the "English is my second language" angle. You write and read English just fine.

This is only about the fifth time I've asked. You asked why NASA uses fisheye lenses. You claimed it was to make everything all "mysterious looking". Stupid answer (yes, that was an ad hominem attack).

Fisheye lenses have infinite DOF. C'mon, this is so simple a child can figure it out. I pointed out why NASA uses fisheye lenses in the second thread.

http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/PlanetaryMapping/DIGGEOL/moon/703/lnr.pdf#search='mare%20imbrium%20moon%20dark%20patches'

Because it isn't a shadow. It's a darker spot on the moon. You can even go out on a clear night and look at them.

http://www.ottawa.rasc.ca/astronomy/geology/moon1/

I would say that it might be Mare Tranquilatis or Mare Imbrium.

You could have figured this one out by just looking at the moon yourself.
