Summary: An explanation into the mechanisms that make irregular shaped meteorites, including some up one tenth the size of the moon, seemingly vanish, leaving symmetrical craters with surprisingly shallow floors. We’re going to look at the initial conditions of the moons formation from the...

That’s actually not reality. I can right now send that signal to a craft around Mars, knowing how long my transmission takes to get from here to there, and see it come on instantly. If the transmission takes thirteen minutes and the instruction is turn on X light, it is instantly visible after...

Yes, the radio wave has to go from here to there (target) and the report time tells distance, one cycle, repeat get velocity. But what your looking at is there, visible, and being bounced off.

You hung up there, It’s true now, “The speed of light is relative to the force of ejection from the center of origin” Let’s say I have a little compartment on that craft that receives an instruction to open and release a lightning bug in a glass jar. That is there around Mars. Let’s say its been...

Alright I try another tact, I watched my craft launch by telescope and never took my eyes off it and have been charting how long it takes radio wave broadcasts to turn lights on the craft on. I know the radio goes from here to there and can gauge how far away the craft is by measuring that. Mind...

Easy, We’re seeing what is there not what light is reporting. The relatively small light from the craft will illuminate a small circle area of space, but that light will never reach earth, but it is there, and we can see it’s there. Your standing in a dark field, you can’t see your hands in...

Let’s say I’ve make my radio waves visible and am watching them travel toward my craft and then be absorbed into its radio dish. Viola, light comes on, visible to me looking through my telescope. Or else your saying my little old craft light sends light in the form of photons in every direction...

You’ll see the light come on in thirteen minutes. Light doesn’t have to travel from there to here to be seen.

If we’re looking through a telescope at a craft we launched from Earth that is now passing Mars and send a radio signal to our craft telling it to turn on one of its lights on and it takes thirteen minutes for the radio waves to get from Earth to our craft how long will it take before we see the...
