Until officials provide more information, the claim that Flight 370 went south rests not on the weight of mathematics but on faith in authority
Wasn't the main evidence against a northern path the fact that the plane would have to have flown over some (unlike Malaysia) heavily monitored airspace?
I reckon you could use terrain masking along the Himalayas.
uplink transmissions from the aircraft are doppler compensated
So surely the argument based on the doppler data is bogus, which is really the point of the article.
They had two young Iranian guys with stolen passports and they ruled out their involvement in a few days. Thats either quick work or misdirection.
This device is clearly aimed at organisations which need to control who uses their tools. When they hand out a vehicle, it needs a key to operate it. Thats a safer way to go than just allowing anybody to get in and go. Similarly, they want to control who uses their guns.
Maybe the aircraft is on the bottom of the Indian ocean, but not totally flooded. It might move around with the current, so the pings would be picked up in different locations, but the aircraft would have moved by the time the ROV went down.
Your demands are too high.
Its the 21st century. Lets try some re-engineering.
Imagine you were living with circa 1800 AD technology, and were looking for evidence of another civilization with circa 2014 technology. Keep in mind that this 200 year difference is nothing compared to the difference between modern technology and the technology of a race capable of building a Dyson sphere.
The existence of the advanced civilisation would be obvious to us because they'd be in our villages raping our women. So maybe aliens wouldn't be doing precisely that, but if they are anything like us they would be curious and hungry for resources.
I think the it is significant that the only debris found on the lunar surface was put there by humans. Any sort of exploration of our solar system would have left debris, garbage, broken vehicles, etc. And if somebody invested in a Dyson sphere only 7 light years away, they would be keeping an eye on us for sure.
Yeah but that's Somebody Else's Problem.
I doubt it because we would be deluged with holidaying spherians every long weekend. Earth beaches are the best. Also the construction process would have generated a lot of debris. Seriously, it is too close not to be noticed as such. If they were humans there would be trillions of them in there. Even if it was a ringworld sort of thing with a collapsed civilisation, there would be ships coming past and making radio noise, exhaust, etc.
it may have formed around a star like a planet does, then got ejected by gravitational interactions with other planets.
But if Jupiter interacts with anything, Jupiter isn't going to get ejected. The remaining object must have been a sizeable star.
This star must be warm deeper down. I wonder if it is a good place for life.
I want a pedal/electric street legal hybrid motorcycle which I can drive on the freeway to work.
One morning on my road bike, cycling on a suburban road. Tram tracks to my right, parked cars to my left, going about 50km/h. This woman was hanging out on the road ahead of me, Not really paying attention. I got to within about three metres and I swear I heard her inhale as she saw me in her peripheral vision and jumped back out of my path.
It might have a hub mounted electric motor. Some motorised bicycles use those.
US Harley fans will suddenly find a common purpose with jap bike makers.
Does it come with a heads up display?
On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
