This is a damn big photo
« on: May 20, 2007, 08:56:58 PM »


anyway, here's a contest I randomly thought up.

I'm currious if anyone can find some sort of argument for or against FE or RE based just on this picture.

After all the debating I've seen here, I figure someone's bound to find something.

There's an atmosphere.  Proof of RE.

Most RE proponents claim that the atmosphere is perfectly transparent; and that we should be able to see the effects of the sun long after it dips below the horizon.

In the picture you've provided there is a nice gradient from top to bottom which illustrates that the molecules of the sky are not transparent. After a sufficient distance, after ten thousand miles horizontally from the observer, the sun's piercing light would be completely obscured by the fog of the atmosphere.

He didn't prove anything.  This is a photo, and the "air particles" he's seeing is just blur from the camera.

The challenge wasn't to prove anything, just to find some sort of argument.  Tom did that.

That is in no way an argument for or against FE or RE, like what the challenge was.

Of course you can.  I could post a pic of my city, but the only reason it's called a city is so the military can save a bunch of money, it's really just a town...

That's not a castle, it's the city walls, and it's the Westgate of the walls. We do have a castle though, just a ruin though.

We don't build over the top of our history  ::)

Well, not any more...farmers had been taking apart old castles for stone for years before we started conserving. Stupid farmers...

Anyways, Glasgow looks beautiful, though I've never been there. London is more beautiful though  8) but mainly cos I live there.

They did have glass all those years ago...

In terms of it's practicality for defense, you try crawling through a window 15ft up with people shooting arrows through it  :P

i'm guessing the windows were added in when the rooms above the gate were turned into a museum.

I know they had glass.  But, why glass.  It would have to be replaced all the time if the wall were actually used.
