Does True Randomness Actually Exist?

what's comical is heliocentrism -

they say the ferryman Charon is "tidally locked" with the god of the underworld Pluto -

choke on that for a while and then tell me how they figured that one out !

you think anyone on earth can look through a telescope and observe Pluto's supposed moon Charon and observe THAT ! ???????????

and remember one thing -

they say Pluto is more than 4 BILLION miles from your globe earth

You ask questions like that from a position of what I infer is complete ignorance, but you seem unaware that scientifically literate people either know the answers already or can easily find them, and that they are generally entirely satisfactory.

You're guessing (badly) again. A search (or simply going to wikipedia) would inform you about the history of the science. To understand it, all you need to start with is the fact that the scientific world is not one grand global conspiracy of people pretending to know stuff. Anyone who isn't a simpleton is able to get that far.

Getting back to angles, two relevant facts are that the highest resolution of terrestrial telescopes is around 1/200,000,000 radians, and the angular diameter of Charon is about 1/4,000,000 radians. This means that observing the rate of rotation of Charon from Earth is well within the range of what is possible. (In fact it was first achieved in 1978).

prove charon is tidally locked with pluto via the scientific method -

if you can - my hat is off to you !

Elroch

I can explain to you how it was done, but I can't give you the ability to understand it.

  1. You observe Pluto and Charon individually and infer the rate at which they rotate (simply by seeing how the features rotate and reappear).
  2. Then you observe them orbit around their centre of mass and deduce the time it takes for one orbit (again nothing difficult to understand).
  3. Then you notice that all three values are 6.387 days.
  4. Then you deduce tidal locking.

post video footage of charon tidally locked with pluto from 4 billion millions away -

good luck!

Elroch

You don't need video footage, you just need a series of photographs with time gaps between them.

And, as always, you are indicating stupid beliefs (you believe in a grand conspiracy involving all the world's astronomers and everyone else competent enough to analyse their work) then finding ways to avoid changing your stupid ideas. You have done nothing else for a few decades, I am sure.

noodles2112

how do you know charon is tidally locked with pluto ?

have you been there and spun around on charons or plutos balls

Elroch

You don't think right.

I just explained astronomers take pictures of the two minor planets and watch them rotate while they orbit. Nothing sciency to confuse you - it's simply direct observation.

All you need is the sanity to understand there is not a global conspiracy of astronomers and all those connected with them.

For some of the planets these sorts of observations are made by amateurs across the world - anyone willing to buy a telescope and put in the effort - but you need a really big telescope to observe any surface detail on Pluto and Charon!

noodles2112

if its "direct observation" there must be video footage of it ( from amateur astronomers to Nasa - like videoing wildlife in the natural world - not the theoretical heliocentric world where all Nasa provides is cartoon animations & they should be providing NOTHING but 100% authentic video footage - but they don't because they can't because it doesn't EXIST in the REAL world!

there is no telescope than can "observe" millions/billions of miles much less theoretical "lightyears" away !

the so-called "conspiracy" was long in the making - remember - dissemination of information flows from Top-Down - not from - Bottom-Up.

Another product of the "people who fail high school geometry" youtube channels.

Being incompetent at geometry is an essential attribute of flat earthers.

Let me try to explain the value of your views, noodles. Suppose someone was blind and had never learnt the rules of chess. Your views on the stuff you post are as useful as chess advice from that person.

You should have some comprehension of that analogy since, while you appear to be close to the bottom percentile regarding basic science, you have perfectly normal chess skills - probably a bit above the middle of all those who play on chess.com.

noodles2112

your life resides "lightyears" away - does it not - so-called flat earthers accept what is sensible and observable - not what others tell them to believe is somewhere so distant they cannot even sense nor see - and those same authority figurers you depend upon do nothing more but produce cartoon animations ! ! !

Elroch

The whole world of intelligent educated people has the same understanding. It's not that the high school dropouts are the only ones who have got it right.

I’d argue true randomness doesn’t exist. It wasn’t random that I ran into your mom last night…
