Is that supposed to scare me? What the *(&#? You did that in the other thread. What a waste of your time.

but the big shots here are using this for entertainment. It is causing people to take this claim as a joke. This is horrible.

More ad hom and actual insults. When will this be dealt with? Do I have to report every single post when she breaks the rules? It would take me all day.

You'll do anything to get me thrown out because you have no other reason. Trying to use AI plagiarism against me is another one of your failed efforts.

I don’t give a shit about your AI plagiarism — in which you plagiarize a plagiarist.

You obviously do give a shit.

You have no clue what any of it means anyway. We all know that, including you. I am sick and tired of your tactics of baiting, goading, trolling, insults and ad hom, and I am going to report them.

If you’re sick and tired of what you call tactics of baiting, goading, trolling, insults, and ad homs, go report me. Either you woke up on the wrong side or you’re becoming a sore loser.

For example, if one spacecraft is at 0.1 AU (about 15 million km) from the Sun and the other at 0.3 AU (about 45 million km), the light from the flare will reach them in roughly 50 seconds — a fraction of a minute, not a day.

You are correct that the light will only reach the first craft after 50 seconds which means it is as you wrote: "ALMOST instantly." 50 seconds is not instant, just almost instant. Therefore, you have conceded that once the object is bright enough you still cannot see it in real time--because you cannot see it for 50 seconds at that location.

Let's review the math anyway: the first craft is .1 AU from the sun (and therefore approximately so from the solar flare).

.1 AU = .1 AU x 93,000,000 miles / 1 AU = 9,300,000 miles x 1 second / 186,215 miles ~= 49.94 seconds ~= 50 seconds.

The first photons from the solar flare do not reach the craft until 50 seconds after the solar flare exists and so this is when the craft detects it.

Since you have now conceded the point that vision is not in real-time, there is no longer a need for further discussion.

Thank you and good bye.

Instant oatmeal is not really instant either.

Nor instant coffee.

The whole world is a LIE.
