Seems the super string theory came to be only in the mind'"s eye of
great thinkers(was it before its time?)Much to hard to relate
superstring theory to any type experiments Hmmm  If I came up with just
one experiment I would get the Nobel. Any math. possible?  I don't think
so. Any equations,or Feynman diagrams? I don't think so.  #Why am I just
now thinking "approximation" Seems I think that might fit in. Might end
up with approximate answers ,and that could give us hopefully some
approximate equations???    Why is all I just typed factual Reason
superstrings are very tiny stuff. Best to keep in mind that the smaller
an object is,the more powerful particle accelerators have to be built.
That begs the question how big would we have to make the accelerator to
view a superstring.  Answer             "Accelerator the size of our
universe".  That's nice my post started and ended with the same sentence
TreBert  Oops just recalled the size of a superstring. It is
"approxametly" 100 million million times smaller than an atomic nucleus.

Sure; it's gana take a few hundred years, though, before we make
instruments as sensitive as the Human Brain.

Until then, the Scientific Method is merely a road-block.

Road-block, no; mire, yes.

Seriously:  some things are perceivable by the human brain, only . . . the
tools we need to truly support the Scientific Method (reproducible,
peer-review) just don't exist.

Without the tools available to others they can use to verify the results,
my dissertation-proof "The n-Dimensional Topology Of Meta-Atomic Sterical
Waveform Genesis" is as valuable as my vanity plate.

Well, I see Saturn all the time without a telescope on my nightly
walks.  Is that proof enough?

Now that I have made out Venus's phase with my naked eyes, perhaps next
I will try to make out Saturn's rings!

I have since confirmed that Venus is in its quarter phase now just as I
saw it the other night, and is close to the Earth now so it appears
large.  Before when I thought I could see the phase, I would turn my
head and the images would rotate with my head, proving that I was only
seeing my own astigmatism.  But this time when I rotated my head, the
image stayed perpendicular, so I was really seeing it.  This means that
surely some ancients with keener eyesight that me must have noticed it
too, and so I'll bet the knowledge of its phases predates Galileo.

I wonder if Saturn's rings can be seen with a keen naked eye?

Turns out that ancient Babylonian texts repeatedly refer to the "Horns
of Venus".  One interpretation on this is that they were observing the
phases of Venus.  There are some Mayan writings which could also
indicate a knowledge of Venus's phases.

Oddly, some ancient texts describe the "Hair of Venus", a description
usually used to describe comets.  Did Venus once have an observable
tail?

Interestingly, Venus does have a tail, but not one we can see with our
eyes today.  See:

"A Tale from Venus

Saturn may have rings, but did you know that Venus has a tail? First
discovered in the late 1970's by Pioneer Venus Orbiter, the tail of
charged particles was discovered 70,000 km from the planet. Recent
findings from the SOHO solar probe reveal that the tail extends almost
to Earth's orbit - some 45 million kilometres (see diagram).

The Earth does not have a similar tail because of its magnetic field
which protects our atmosphere from the solar wind. In the case of
Venus, the solar wind strips particles from the upper atmosphere and
scatters them in a similar way to the formation of a comet tail."

I read something about ancient Tarot which associated Saturn with the
astrological symbol for Tarus (horns).

Yes.  Isn't that interesting.  Why would they ascribe horns to Saturn
unless they could see something sticking out?  Galileo even with a
telescope first called the rings ears.  It would seem that among the
ancients who dedicated their lives to observing the stars that there
must have been some with exceptional eyesight.  Perhaps they were even
chosen for that trait.

I think that too much of modern ssholarship smells too much of the
study lamp, and people are too unwilling to go out and look for
themselves.

From Isaac Asimov...
    ----------------------------------------------
Perhaps the astronomer with the sharpest eyes was the
American... Edward Emerson Barnard, 1857-1923.  In
the 1890s, he thought he detected craters on Mars; but
he didn't announce this formally.  He didn't think anyone
else would see them and he feared he'd be laughed at.
But he was one hundred percent right.  It took seventy
years and the development of rocket-powered Mars
probes to demonstrate the fact.
    ----------------------------------------------

Barnard also discovered Jupiter's satellite Amalthea and
Barnard's star, the second-nearest star system to the Sun.

It's been my contention for a long time now, AA, that there
were ancients such as yourself who had "eagle eyes".  And
there would have been substantial application, even need
for such people.

If i am correct, and it was astronomers who created,
designed and invented religion, imagine them hiring you, a
person who can see a comet and its tail several nights
before anybody else could see them.  See how useful this
would be? especially when there is a whole village, or even
country, of people who would bow to the one who could
"foresee" such an awesome omen?

There's a certain class of mirage that can allow one to

Yes indeed.

I'm not eagle eyed by the way.  If I could see it, others with normal
vision should be able to see it too.  The image I saw of Venus was not
clear.  But though blurry, it gave me enough information to determine
that the object I was looking at was not round, but had an up and down
elongation.  The impression the blurry image gave me was indeed that it
had horns at top and bottom, little spikes of light.

The ancients my have found ways to enhance their vision too.  They had
glass you know.

The ancient ancients who didn't have glass had ice.  They
could build fires using ice to focus the sun's rays, and they
could see enemies approaching in advance.

And of course, they could see the wanderers (planets)
closer up.

But at night, it didn't help them to see the lions coming.
For protection from the lions, they built observatories!

And to protect themselves against ancient coffeebois,
they invented *religion*. <g>

"HUH?" --> Mother Goose

You see, Mother, the ancient astronomers used their
great and conditioned eyesight to "foresee" fearfull
things like comets.  So the village people would hold
these ancient scientists in awe and respect.  Then,
when a silly coffeeboi came around, the astronomer
but had to point at the coffeeboi, and the villagers
would mob the coffeeboi, poking and kicking the
poor li'l coffeeboi until the coffeeboi was just filled
with holes.

Hmm... funny thing is, i thought it *did* depict a crescent
Venus.  I thought the disk was the full moon, the most
impressive moon, and the crescent was Venus, to me
*much* more impressive as a crescent than it is when it's
gibbous (remember the glass and ice?).

When Venus is "new" it's invisible between Earth and Sun
And when "full" it's on the other side of the Sun.  No need
to depict two moons, though i may be wrong.

Perhaps the disk was Mars as seen through ice or glass?

No; one can, however, perceive the degree to which the reflection of their
'face' when presented to the Sun is transmitted to our retina's rods and

Well, to put it most simply for you, I've also used a telescope on it.

This matches what's been written about Saturn from Galileo on.  If

While Big Ben is Big Ben--this is true--I've never seen the tower that I've
heard exists in London.

Have you?

Truly, you can take my word that it exists, or you can take others'.

Do you then actually 'know' that it exists?

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run."
~ John Keats,
"To Autumn"
