Mass spectrometry, classical physics, radio spectrum wizardry, and a whole lot of signals theory
- bank-error 4y agoYeah and none of that will be workable if we find out there’s some sort of occluding mechanism or distortion surrounding the solar system. Like saying you will find water because you took a picture of a mirage.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoI don't think that actually answer the question. It definitely has an answer, bt just throwing around scientific fields isn't it. Also, don't you mean stellar spectroscopy? Mass spectrometry is when you fire ions through an electric field to determine their mass-to-charge ratio. Doesn't seem even a little bit applicable to far-away objects.
- bank-error 4y agoThe real answer is that as our ability to test our current model or knowledge, so does the model evolve. Saying a bunch of stupid science words is just how idiots online attempt to generate consensus to their line of argumentation because they struggle deeply with ontology. Think about our knowledge of the Earth rotating around the sun vs. the sun rotating around the Earth, or flat Earth vs a spheroid Earth, our models increase in accuracy as their testability increases in tandem.
- kfrzcode 4y agoThanks for the assist, I don't really know what the answer is so I was hoping someone would iterate on my spike.
