I'm pretty sure this isn't correct. The panoramic is simply a composite.

it is the panoramic picture, but it is the same picture as almost two thirds of the images recorded on on the surface of Titan: The most important set of orange pebbles ever photographed. You have to look at it carefully - My wife picked it out - the panarama was not a panarama because the camera could not spin on the tether - It was firmly on the surface of Titan.

Tether? Maybe you can point out where the tether is?

When the Panorama Picture was taken, Huygens was already on the ground because the law of gravity is wrong.

No, the picture taken from above was not the one you're referring to. It was this one:

It took the probe on the order of one hour to completely traverse the atmosphere, The 30 meter parachute jettisoning the heat shield less than 200 meters above the surface. Huygens spent thirty eight seconds descending on the 10 meter parachute, then took the panaramic photograph that was suppose to be taken while swiveling on a parachute at 100 kilometers, and then took 400-600 pictures of the same rocks, because the camera logic said it was still descending.

That's not what happened either. It's not a good idea to jump to conclusions like this.

A new era in physics will finally emerged =D> Thank you Huygens, thank you Cassini, no thank you, ESA administrators who are still mumbling about lost data, who lied about the time Huygens hit the moon, and lied about the marvelous performance of their wonderful craft! -

I think that this kind of baseless accusation is not only unwarranted, it would probably get you the Buzz Aldrin punch in the jaw if you were to say it to the scientists' faces.
