The Supermoon

I understand direct moonlight can also cause serious paranoid delusions of conspiracy and such. Careful kids!

Actually, it directly appears that avoiding moonlight can cause fevered paranoid delusions that NASA is the head of the Round Earth conspiracy and think that moonlight is emitted by some sort of bio-luminescent shrimp like lifeforms who are capable of telepathic communication and dream communications with those afflicted by a lack of direct moonlight.

Can a mod delete the pictures please? Photographs of the moon are likely to be just as harmful as the real thing.

Sorry for trolling but this cracks me up  .

Greets Afool cant help myself...

I'm moving this to the General board.

Pictures are non-harmful.  They are only reproductions of the visible light spectrum, and do not carry the same harmful radiation that may or may not be present in the original source.

ie. you can take a picture of highly toxic and radioactive waste, and the picture itself will not be harmful unlike the source of that picture.

How about rational evidence and pure logic?

Take a normal photograph, look at it in a room without windows... now turn off the lights.  See?  no glow.  The hard copy of the picture itself does not emit light, much less electromagnetic energy of any kind.

A computer monitor is only capable of certain combinations of electromagnetic frequencies, mostly ranging in the visible light spectrum, of which there is pretty ample research that the visible light frequency is largely non-harmful in the intensities that can be produced by a computer monitor (not like staring into a laser or the sun which is much more intense light).

A computer monitor or television screen is not capable of even generating the high frequency electromagnetic frequencies that has been harmful to biological life forms (such as x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays, etc.)... heck, it can't even to UV rays....

If it is the 'light' from the moon that is harmful, then the image you see on a screen or in a photograph is only a pale representation of the full EM emission emitted by the subject of the photograph.

Example: You can take a picture of the sun and view the picture without problems, but viewing the sun directly can cause damage to your retinas because the quality and intensity of the EM emissions is vastly different.

Actually, that would depend on what kind of monitor you are referring to.  CRTs use high frequency magnetic fields to steer electron beams (we are literally talking about small particle accelerators here) to excite various types of phosphors and produces (a small amount of) x-ray radiation.

Alright... a negligible amount, and the amount emitted does not largely change due to the quality of the image viewed on the screen, it is pretty uniform for all pictures viewed on the monitor regardless of the image viewed.  As you pointed out, it uses high frequency magnetic fields to steer electron beams, that is behind the image displayed, not the image itself.

it's just a large dusty rock however it is beautiful



it never hurt anyone, nobody has ever died from radiation from the moon.

Ok.  For all you who are sensitive to the moonbeams and think pictures of it are harmful... of these four enlarged spots (both of which originaly measured about 4 pixels), which one came from the bright area slightly up and left of the center of the above picture of the moon, and which three came from the white border of these very forums?

Until studies are done to confirm that, I must insist that we air on the side of caution, brother Markjo.

I avoid sunshine, due to the danger posed by the emissions of the solarshrimp.

I just stared at a bunch of pictures of the moon for 2 minutes. I'm completely fine.

Your logic is flawed. It might take days, weeks, months, or even years for any signs of harm to arise.

Are the moons of Jupiter in my display pic dangerous too?  Is Jupiter itself dangerous?

Are the moons of Jupiter in my display pic dangerous too?  Is Jupiter itself dangerous?

Due to distance, the emissions from the moons of Jupiter are not a threat, likewise with Jupiter itself.

Why, with the initial studies that I have done, I have become to suspect that the emissions from the Jupiter system might very well offset the emissions from the Moon; providing moderate protection from moonlight when Jupiter is prominent in the sky and the Moon is just in one of its minor phases.

You mean the distance of only 100 miles further than the moon which sits at 3000 miles away?  That's only about a 3.333% difference in overall distance between 3100 miles and 3000 miles.

My studies suggest that the emissions from Jupiter are created by creatures that are offshoots of the Moon creatures, or vice versa.

I theorize that over time a conflict has developed between the two civilizations. When both are prominent in the sky, the danger from the emissions directed at Earth are reduced, since it is during such times that they direct the most dangerous spectrum of emissions at each other.

I think we should start phylogenetically analyzing the different moon shrimps and brime shrimps to see which diverged first to give us a better understanding of terrestrial shrimp.
