Empirical evidence for moon shrimp
« on: January 08, 2011, 08:20:35 AM »
In another topic, James had this to say about the alleged creatures which allegedly cause the moon to light up:

How do you know they're shrimp like bacteria? How do you know they're not more like spiders? Or lizardlike creatures? Or frogs? Or mushrooms with legs? Do you have one in a jar?
You won't answer this question.

I experienced a telepathic episode recently, in which I achieved mystical contact with several such beings.  This was how I became more aware of their form and nature, having previously merely deduced it from the ample empirical evidence.  In this manner I have learnt many secrets of the universe.  The secrets I have learnt through empirical study have been greater of quantity, but perhaps the secrets I have learnt through mystical experience have been more profound.

Now I would like to direct this question at him, or any others who can answer it adequately: what ample empirical evidence suggests that the creatures which produce light on the moon are in fact shrimp-like bacteria?

The moon emitted light seems to be clear empirical evidence of this to me.

I'm sorry, but you have not met the condition "can answer it adequately", but by all means, I encourage you to try again when you can!

Sorry but that is only empirical evidence that light is being emitted from the moon.  That says nothing about what on the moon is emitting the light.

Edit:  Actually, I'm wondering what empirical evidence FE'ers have that that light is being emitted by the moon vs. being reflected by the moon.

Moon shrimp are probably no different from brine shrimp. The only difference being that they live on the moon.

I imagine they eat the luminous phosphorous algae that James has proven to cause the moon to have its eerie glow. Once this luminosity is in their digestive system it will shine like a beacon. They can then use it for mating or finding things like more algae.

If he has proven it, all that's left to do is just post the proof, and this whole matter will be settled.

Empirical evidence that the light which enables us to see the moon originates there would be helpful as well.

Evidence for the moons luminous algae is simple to provide. Look at the moon. It illuminates through algae. Read ENaG.

I would like to keep this thread on topic if I may, James has stated that there is ample empirical evidence which allowed him to deduce that the creatures which emit light from the moon's surface are shrimp-like bacteria, and I would simply like to know what that evidence is.

I think the "How to ROFL" picture has more evidence against it.

We know it illuminates. How can you tell by looking at it that algae are the cause? For example, you know that a computer monitor emits light (the fact that the moon is lit), but how do you know that pixels (algae) are the cause? You don't, until you can empirically observe the pixels (http://76.19.4.2/images/screenshot.jpg).

That is where I am eventually trying to go with this line of questioning, yes.

I would say that they are more like the pistol shrimp.

You know the only way you guys are going to get that empirical evidence is to dream it like they did.

What makes you think it was his first moon-shrimp dream?

"Empirical research is a way of gaining knowledge by means of direct observation or experience." 

Are you suggesting that the shrimp in his dreams were not observed?
