[snip idiocy] Yeah, stooopid - lunar laser ranging It is stupid to snip the discussion and answer to your objection and simply state the objection again. If you think that my answer that the lunar laser reception was scattered and that faint receptions after 2 and 21/2 seconds could be ascribed to this scattering and the real return was after 2 seconds then say so. Yeah, stooopid - the old lightspeed measurements using observed orbital time lags of Jupiter's Galilean moons. We have gone over each of these before, my friend, and shown them to have assumed light speed but not really tested it. The Galileo moon lags are equally attributable as Cassini said to the changes in viewing angle from the Earth given the planes of the two orbits. Yeah, stooopid - communicating with the Martian rovers, the Galileo Jupiter orbiter, Cassini going to Saturn... These are perfect examples of assuming the speed of light and not testing it. Yeah, stooopid - radar bounced off Saturn's moon Titan And the results are vague and chosen so as not to be inconsistent with other data on Titan. |
