astrocrap is the gayest and most retard thing in all of science, only low iq losers care about it. its completely worthless, all the gay soience fiction fantasies have got implanted in your head by stupid hollywood jew movies and gay jew comic books.

Only a fool would believe our current model is the correct model when human history has been constantly proposing models, finding faults, proposing new models, and so forth

Gábor Toth, one of the scientists at the University of Michigan whose model Schmidt used, noticed the fishy image in the manuscript when Cairns emailed it to him and asked if he wanted to be a co-author.

According to a redacted version of a Jan. 2023 report on the case obtained by Retraction Watch, the investigation panel determined that Schmidt used Photoshop “to alter or create” a figure in the 2019 manuscript that was purported to be the output of Toth’s model. Neither Schmidt nor digital forensics experts could reproduce the image with the model.

The panel concluded that Schmidt alone produced the Photoshopped figure.

“At interview, Professor Cairns explained that he has no experience with Photoshop, confirmed that he did not make any amendments, and could not recall asking Dr Schmidt to make any adjustments using Photoshop,” the report stated. It noted that the creation or alteration of the figure “amounted to fabrication and falsification on the part of Dr Schmidt.”

“The cheating is so obvious that it can be understood by anyone, no scientific knowledge is needed,” Toth told Retraction Watch.

Richard de Grijs, a physicist at MacQuarie University in Australia, and Rob Wittenmyer, an astrophysicist at the University of South Queensland, who carried out the investigation, wrote in the report that if one were to accept Schmidt’s claim that he used Photoshop to make the internal structures of the image brighter and more visible, there would need to be an explanatory note in the paper.

“This should have been done at the draft stage so that Professor Cairns and other prospective authors were made aware of the adjustments for the purposes of their consideration of the draft paper,” they wrote.

so gay

Whats the refractive index of dark matter? If our galaxy is surrounded by a lens shaped blob of dark matter then that blob is distorting our view of what lies beyond. Given that dark matter distributions are asymmetrical, some distortion of the view is guaranteed. The distortion should be detectable and correctable, but it hasn't been done yet. Should be easy to estimate, given a refractive index

Given that we've all now seen the power of AI and machine learning, we all now know that the images from JWST could just as easily be fakes created by a computer. Is there any way to independently confirm that JWST genuinely exists other than to trust NASA, a notoriously dishonest political organization which would be motivated to lie in this case?
