      XPost: sci.physics, sci.space.tech       From: Briang1@blueyonder.co.uk              I'd imagine it will not be that long till an earth based telescope would       have the resolution, with adaptive optics to in theory, see such a small       thing, but why wait? We can already bounce lasers off the corner cubes left       at the sites perfectly well, if you are suggesting that it would be proof we       were there!              There are some probes planned that will be able to at least see the LEM       bottom stages, I imagine.              Cosmic microwave background is an interesting one, as presumably, what we       'see' is reflections and refractions from the bodies in the Universe. I       understand its not as uniform in its distribution as first thought, and I am       not sure if this result is right, as any radiation must have a polarity, and       surely, with all that bouncing about, it will be pretty chaotic by now, so       any tendency for the receiver system to favour a polarity, would upset the       readings, and of course, you can get summing and cancellation when equal       amounts of a given frequency are received with different phase       relationships, and with the obvious doppler effects spreading your dominant       frequencies, ie those not absorbed by molecules already, you may end up       proving nothing worth worrying about!              Brian untrained independent thinker :-)              --       Brian Gaff....Note, this account does not accept Bcc: email.        graphics are great, but the blind can't hear them       Email: briang1@blueyonder.co.uk       ________________________________________________________________       _____________________________________________                     "InEurope" |
