the only REAL form of remote sensing
So many people believe in remote sensing (dowsing, long range locating, etc.), but only in the kind of remote sensing that THEY do. Well, you are all wrong. THIS is how you find stuff!

Say what?
Elie,
How does this url to comic book characters have to do with Remote Sensing? Maybe Geometrics or western Geophysical would do the trick(ok,ok, Anthony Barringer is permitted). Randy |

Firstly, it is a link to a page about a comic book STORY.
Secondly, the story is about Donald Duck (Battouta/Patoka Donald/Ka'cer Donald/Anders And/Donald Duck/Ntonalt Ntak/El Pato Donald/Piilupart Donald/Aku Ankka/Dunnaldur Dunna/Donald Duck/Donald Kacsa/Donal Bebek/Andres Ond/Paolino Paperino/Donaldus Anas/Donald Duck/Donald Duck/Donald Duck/Kacer Donald/Pato Donald/Donald Dak/Paja Patak/Ujo (Ka'cer) Donald /Kalle Anka/Donald/Tang Lao Ya) going to a lecture about flipism, a "philosophy" which involves flipping a coin to make decisions. Of course, flipism is a hoax (there is nothing to it), but Donald believes in it SIMPLY BECAUSE IT SOUNDS GOOD. Thirdly, remote sensing is also a hoax, but many people believe in it. However, most of them say that only their kind of remote sensing is real. "Only MY brand of long range locator works," etc. I posted the link to show how ridiculous the whole business is (even if one "believes" in more than one kind of remote sensing). Does it really make ANY sense to flip a coin to decide where to look for treasure? Does it really make ANY sense to use map dowsing (or regular dowsing or a long range locator) to look for treasure? Everyone who is involved in remote sensing is either trying to make money of off all of the Donalds out there, or they believe in it BECAUSE IT SOUNDS GOOD. Just as you would not flip a coin to decide where to look for treasure, do not fall for this "remote sensing" stuff. As for long range locators, which are electronic (and it might seem possible to use them to find stuff), remember that Carl, who is an electrical engineer, has made a thorough study of these things, and has found that they DO NOT WORK AT ALL, and that THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE INVOLVED IN THEIR OPERATION. |

Thanks for the 1,000 names of Donald duck.
But if any kind of electronic LRL doesn't work, why Carl open this forum for the discussion? So, he want to believe... There are kinds and kinds of remote sensing "instruments". And the fact that Carl is an electronic engineer isn't enough for to aprobe or negate it. Another question: how many electronic LRL instruments have you built for to conclude it? |

There are some legitimate remote sensing techniques. Oil exploration and mining companies use them. IEEE publishes "Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing" which I used to subscribe to, and has some interesting papers. Astrophysicists also use remote sensing, both in ground-based and probe-based instruments.
But detecting a single gold coin a mile away? Sorry, that's fantasy. |

Of course, this is exagerated! |

Quote:
Anyway, I have never liked the use of the term remote sensing in reference to dowsing or the use of long range locators, but I used it because you named this the remote sensing forum. I was, of course, only referring to dowsing and the use of long range locators (and not legitimate remote sensing). If these things worked at all, you certainly would have written that they worked, instead of writing (at the end of "The Question of Dowsing"), "In fact, of all the methods of treasure hunting, dowsing and the use of LRLs is the least successful of all. Dowsing, like so many other mystical concepts, is a product of wishful thinking and any reasonable examination will show that it does not work." By the way, I have always wanted to know exactly what you hope to get out of the remote sensing forum. |
