What's wrong with this picture?

Not all people are very good in spacial geometry, and some people totally lack the skills to visualize this stuff. They're not dumb.

Oedo is reponsible for discovering stuff in Civ II that no one had noticed for years.

I would call KH an idiot too if he posted this (and I believed he wasn't ****ing around)

Nah, a better guess is that oedo as part of his therapy have had acces to a computer and when the evening bell rings he have to take on his straight jacket and return to his rubber cell

That's a pretty rude tone and the second one in a row by you. In what position are you to attack me like that?

Sirotnikov. thank you. I watched the pp now and I calculated the EBS is about 2,5-3 miles away from Ground Zero. Is this right so far? The rest would be up to mathmatics.

Here's the basic layout. (Guessed at the location of those 2 other buildings, but they'd along those rays, though the distance could be off.)

A: WTC
B: right POI
C: left POI

1: first perspective
2: second perspective

It's ~3 miles from the WTC to ESB (as the crow flies) according to google.

I have a low tolerance for stupidity real or pretended right now, I'm in the middle of about 50 induction proofs

I threw away 5+ plastic bags full of physics and math (and a couple other classes) notes. The hardest was some of the math proofs and the QFT.

Now I am not carrying aroud that anymore though!

Yes, but KH would be used to it

I honestly think that this drives alot of people away. Most internet nerds* don't have exceptionally high self esteem, and not everyone can handle lots of namecalling over silly mistakes.

I know, I know, people should grow some skin and learn to take heat over what they write in an internet forum.

But I've been seriously pwned here occassionally, and being made fun of afterwards was not pleasant at all.
This is especially true because past incidents are often remembered and reminded to you over and over.

Aeson. Thank you for the map as well. Given that in picture 1 we see another side of the ESB than in picture 2. Am I correct?

I don't take notes. And, what's hard about typing QFT?

[Jon Miller]

It was my favorite.

BTW: Making fun of me is totally ok. "What'wrong with oedo?" and such is funny.

But I don't think that it would be necessary or helpful to insult me like BC did. I think most of you know, where the borderline is.

[Aeson]

The difference in angle isn't that much from 1->2.

The thing is that every transformation you'd expect to see from moving 1->2 on plane ABC (ground level) is offset by inverse transformations you'd expect to see because of the height of the viewing angle and decreasing distance.

No, that is not correct. Both pictures show the NE side of the ESB.

[oedo]

I see the point. Is anyone here who lives in NY, so he can identify the buildings I marked?

Well, you ask for it.

One thing is to make up conspiracy therories about how the buildings went down - another is to try to make something up on apparently strange views. Doing the last, well, eiter you are pretty desperate or you are a patient as earlier described.

I don't see where you differ here and how you would judge whether I did the one you described or the other.

No, I'm none of these two. People, who know how to behave, don't talk with other people like that. Would you have attacked me the same way, if I had been wrong with the oedo formula? No? Why?

Do you attack everybody else too, if he is wrong - no matter what it is about? Or do you decide, where others have the right of being wrong in sth and don't have the right of being wrong. On what basis do you judge this?

Did you ever convince someone of somethong with this style you just laid out on me? I don't think so, considering that you even didnt take the slightest effort in teaching me better before you started your flame. Others did that for you.

I should have just used the satelite view to identify the buildings. I don't know what the name of the buildings are, but it's pretty clear these are the ones. B is easy, C is more easily identified by the roofline of the building just to the right of it (in the video).
