This is what I'm trying to work out - where and when is this validation process done, and by whom? Edit - i think maybe here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.10813 Launching the VASCO Citizen Science Project

Anecdote alert, I’ve seem two fire balls recently in the East Bay area of California. I walk my dog most nights and usually keep an eye on the sky, about a couple weeks ago ( can’t remember exact date and time) I saw something streak for a few...

It wasn't. Villarroel's own data with regard to plate edges strongly suggest that the flaws/"transients" are more dense near the plate edges, though depending on the algorithm, this may be exacerbated by plate overlap. Remember, the graphs of the...

Hi, I'm Ivo Busko, the author of that preprint. I see so many comments in here, that I can't possibly address everyone. Please feel free to respond to this post in case you have comments or questions, I will do my best to answer. And thanks for...

I've heard of pay-to-play journals, but this is not what I imagined.

Inspired by the work of Ivo Busko (preprint: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20407 and code repository: https://github.com/cuernodegazpacho/plateanalysis), I started experimenting with morphology-based filtering. See...

In 1971 ?? But funny, I found a video about it, they said on 1/500 the photo could move 15 cm because of the forward motion. I tested it in my Blender simulation and measured it to 16.9 cm - not way off :)

Yeah, exactly my point. That's Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon. A bit OT here, but I think it makes my point. I've had this discussion with my kids about the original Star Wars and how its impact back in the '70s was completely different...

Biondi. I will refrain from what I think of him and his doubtful (I express myself lightly now) "science". Nobody should listen to his lies.

Biondi now found a second Sphynx. His idea is that there is some kind of symmetry on the Giza plateau, which would have another Sphynx at a certain location. And indeed exactly there is an elongated elevation. He scanned the area and came to the...

The worst part of exploring the underground city will be the shoggoths… :eek:

Hmmm, written that way, it calls to mind: In Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, the City of Dis (Italian: Dite Italian pronunciation: [ˈdiːte]) encompasses the sixth through the ninth circles of Hell. Moated by the river Styx, the fortified...

DIS-closure is obviously the opposite of closure. In other words, instead of being a final, satisfying answer, "We're going to keep the mystery going as long as this cash cow keeps giving milk". ;)
