dichotomy, have you ever tried looking for the evidence yourself? it seems only you know what will convince you and the fact you thought apollo 14 hada rover indicates that you have done very little if any research yourself. i suggest you take an hour or two to google around and read up on stuff.

when they talk of a pixel size of 30m it means that if you drew a square on the moon 30 meters to a side on the moon and took a photograph with the camera at the reference distance then the square would occupy a single pixel(although only if perfectly lined up, more likely it would have a partial signal in up to 4 pixels.) that image there has a 3 meter pixel size when it is in the final orbit we should be able to get down to a 1 meter pixel size. a photograph of the rover would be maybe 6 or so pixels. you're not going to get brilliant pictures, the satellite wasn't sent up there to take pictures of apollo landers, it was sent to provide high resolution maps of the lunar surface to scout landing sites for future moon missions.

the lunar landers are relatively small and such high resolution cameras have never been deemed necessary to fulfill scientific missions hence none have ever been sent till now. the satellite that took that photograph isn't in its final orbit yet. those pictures are from about 3 times further away than the design altitude. Apollo 14 did not have a lunar rover. it was well within design specifications. also, it wasn't that heavy. on the lunar surface a human could lift it up(fair enough, the dimensions would make it awkward and difficult to get off the ground but it wasn't weight that was the problem.

lasers that can cut and blow stuff up do exist but they are far from hand held. they are usually quite massive. the laser that can blow stuff up(only when its aimed at something containing explosives unfortunately) should be able to fit into a hummer in its final configuration(takes up the bakc end of an articulated truck just now) can be used to detonate a tank shell or missile when it is inflight.

no, because then you'd need to have a negative distance from earth which is impossible.

when you post an extract of an article you really should provide the source whether it is a link or the publication it was found in.

it is called disilanol. and yes, it is the silicon analogue of alcohol. it combusts on exposure to air which is why i said you'd get burned if you tried to drink it. i was going to say you'd end up with a mouth full of glass but i though people might think it was the container that caused that. your question maestro?

bugger has the link changed again? yeah, can a mod change the link to the silverex one. i don't have updating powers

same way memory works, its an array of address wires. there are typically 24-bits per pixel (8 per colour channel) but these are decoded before they reach the screen to an analogue signal that produces the various brightness of the subpixels.

nope, its not that. i'll give another clue that might narrow it down, seems to be too vague. clue: booze made from sand? maybe on another planet but not here.

Lutetium Next: almost like alcohol, but a bit on the heavy side. wouldn't advise trying to drink it, you might get burned.

yes, but you can't control which entangled particle ends up where. all you'll know is that you have one type so the other particle must be the other one.

entanglement doesn't give FTL communication as there is no information transfer.

those aren't mutually exclusive choices there.

klay, all you needed to tell that there was a signal coming from the moon would be two directional antennaa seperated by a reasonably large distance(200 miles should do) and you'd be bale to detect that a signal truely is coming from the moon. 24-hour coverage is a bit more tricky but definitely not out ofthe question for a superpower. they do after all have a navy so can(and could) get global coverage. even a network of HAM radio enthusiasts could do it.

the common cold and flu are not caused by spores. provide some evidence or you are no better than the primitive religions that demanded sacrifices to the gods in fear of retribution.

thats not how diseases come about. wsacrificing 10% of a crop means you lose 10% of your crop AND get all the diseases.

the uk invented english. you obviously don't know the language properly.

no, definitely not steel. fuzzwood came up with that yesterday on the chat but he did eventually get it right.

oh it will happen all right. try it and see. chlorine itself is not acidic and it is released to the atmosphere where it couldn't react with the NaOH anyway. also, chlorine was used as a chemical warfare agent in several wars. it IS harmful at all levels especially if there is repeat exposure. i suggest you stop talking like you know something inside and out when you clearly have as much clue as a freshly lobotomized dung beetle.

seems to have passed now you must hav jiggled the right gizmo on the thingymatron 5000

sort of. but the key feature is the wavelength which is much greater than the dimensions of a molecule.

5km/hr of course.

i'm still getting them thats the sort of thing i'm getting if it helps.
