Only through observation can we tell whether or not a "theory" applies to "reality". Theories are great, but they all must be tested against real life observation to see whether or not these various theories even apply.

This is
at best an incomplete statement – observations are only part of the story. An observation is
worse than useless if you misapply it: it leads you in the wrong direction. Observations in and of themselves are important, even critical, but they must be interpreted. Therein lies the rub.
Thousands upon thousands of words have been written here, but it really still boils down to the same thing we have been saying since Word One: you've been simply looking at images and interpreting them without the benefit of any math, physics, or even understanding of how the images are made. There have been countless posts here trying to show you how to apply any and all of these three things, yet you have studiously avoided doing so. After all this time, that's a banning offense by itself.
But we also have a rule here about answering direct questions in a timely manner.
Nereid asked you questions, and gave you two days to answer them. You then promised
multiple times that you'd respond to his pointed questions next. You didn't. In fact, it's been 12 days since the questions were asked, and
you've posted in other threads since then, but still have not answered the questions. In fact,
this can be traced even farther back to October of last year, still with no real answer. Then, when you do post again in that thread,
it’s about your solar model, and does not answer the imaging questions asked of you.
Nereid and I are in agreement about this. I and the moderators here have bent over backwards for you, hoping against hope you'd post an actual quantitative reply to any of the questions asked of you, and it's clear you never will.
I cannot make this any more clear:
1) Looking at pictures posted on the net, even looking at raw and processed data, does not support your ideas if you don't understand the processes behind how the data were taken and the basic physical processes involved, and
2) People must answer direct questions asked of them,
especially in the ATM forum, doubly especially when a moderator/admin asks them.
Given this, I am banning
Michael Mozina permanently. I am also closing this thread.
