Hornblower,

Scroll halfway down the page and read about Schiaparelli's observations of Mercury in daylight. If that is not enough, try Googling "Mercury daylight observation". It turns up plenty of other references.

As for my remarks about infrared, I was not talking about visible light from the stars. I was referring to observations of incoming infrared in the same wavelength range as what the Earth radiates.

Your inconsistency between this post and the one I challenged strengthens my skepticism about any possibility that your ideas are of any genuine scientific merit.
Think about it for a minute. This is only a logical statement. It doesn't have anything to do with who said or did what. My contention was that you could not conduct such an experiment concerning the difference in the speed of light up vs. down on the surface of the sun or a white dwarf star. If your investigations lead you to believe that such experiments could be conducted there, if you could somehow be isolated from the heat, then that's your prerogative to have such a belief. Do you think this idea is related to this thread? It's a comment of mine that you have a right to disagree with. Please don't take such trivial comments as an important part of this thread, because it's not.

respectfully, forrest
