Mick West replied to the thread The 'Gimbal' UFO: Marik Claims "New Findings" Falsify Prosaic Explanations.In order for any explanation of such things to be definitive, you need to know where the clouds are. The simple way to demonstrate that any theory works is to model it in 3D. I've been on-and-off (mostly off) messing with getting Gimbal working... -

Like.
Why would it? There's nothing in there that predict bumps. Nothing prevents bumps from other sources. The implemented model predicts what the glare angle should be. The extents are not in the implemented model, and they don't require bumps... -

He claimed it failed to predict a bump. I see nothing in the model to support that. It's a meaningless assertion.

I came across this mention of Mil-Mi17 helicopters during some local newspaper archive searches a few week prior. The round / square windows & doorway configuration interest me. Source... -

That's a prediction by Mick based on an understanding of why the bumps occur, not a prediction built into the code. So why is this a salient point? You seem to be conflating our total understanding of the system with what is actually implemented...

TheCholla replied to the thread The 'Gimbal' UFO: Marik Claims "New Findings" Falsify Prosaic Explanations.About #2, there is this too. Link to thread: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/some-refinements-to-the-gimbal-sim.12590/post-360670 I and Zaine have proposed that this is from slight downward camera panning in the original video, which... -

Mendel replied to the thread Artemis Moon Mission 2026.They've been problematic as evidence since Photoshop. The problem is that AI inserted in people's knowledge acquisition may be worse than social media, and the combination is deadly. -

Agree.
As a layperson, I'd expect stars to emit light over a broad enough spectrum that it would be captured by both plates, even if the peak wavelength emitted is of neither. Do you have examples of such stars that disappear? Besides, if the theory is... -

Mick West replied to the thread The 'Gimbal' UFO: Marik Claims "New Findings" Falsify Prosaic Explanations.Nobody claimed that. Stop inventing things. And stop ignoring when people answer your question. If you don't like the answer, then explain why, but don't pretend it's been ignored.
