I think the rapid color shift could potentially represent proof that this object is displaying some advanced technology. The current explanation that this is just some auto contrast function of the camera is just a guess. Nobody here really...
They are not moving through the air, they are moving with the air.
The same misunderstanding or misrepresentation recurs several times in your posts. Please stop it.
Ok, let me correct myself. There is no evidence of gusts of wind at the balloon's altitude.
I have previously stated that wind at ground level is generally turbulent because obstacles create turbulence. For example, you might feel very little...
Timestamps please. I see nothing here that looks in any way different to the way the jellyfish is moving. Claiming that this is "far" from an exact match is a stretch, to put it *extremely* generously.
Guys, let's cut all the discussion about entropy, turbulence, wind sheer, mass/weight/inertia, etc.
It's all irrelevant. In the midst of that discussion it looks like most posters didn't notice that user tobigtofool actually found a real-world...
Ah. You're stuck on the problem of the balloon matching the velocity of the wind. (I guess.)
So your concept is that a balloon could never match the velocity of the wind because gases have more entropy than a solid (latex). (I guess.) Or is...
This paper is unpublishable; no paper that asks its readers to watch a youtube presentation is.
The paper contains no experimental results whatsoever. It is entirely theoretical in nature. Another reason it is unpublishable is that these...
Not the greatest video, but from around 1m20 onward there's a good look at balloon of some kind travelling at a constant speed in the wind, without ascending, or bits of it flapping.
Yeah nonsense about balloons reaching a critical state of flight where they become one with the atmosphere and no longer spin and move.
There is zero evidence to support that claim in this thread.
Show me a video of that happening that has at...
If you believe that the recently posted uninformed opinions, arguments from incredulity, and intuitions are leading to facts, yes. But they're not. This thread is simply getting spammed with nonsense.
A balloon will either
a) sink — and not travel far, or
b) rise.
If it rises, it either
ba) bursts, or
bb) reaches an altitude where the air density is low enough to make it neutrally buoyant.
From condition bb), the balloon will slowly leak gas...
We've gone through this again and again, but you're not listening. Once more, it would take turbulence to move them around, but a steady breeze would not. Go look up the inflatable cow video earlier in this thread, and see how the pennants around...
