Self evident fact(or assumed fact) is something that is proven by repeated experiments and in science is considered true unless evidence is provided that suggests otherwise.
If you want to prove me wrong great...
Show me technology that can discriminate between a few stray photons, lets go crazy here and say 100 a second(vastly overestimated) compared to the background noise of a million(lets go crazy and vastly UNDERESTIMATE) of photons in the same frequency reaching the detector from other sources(the sun) at Jupiters average orbit.
Their are more random photons hitting hydrogen atoms in space and reflecting off them towards the detector from the suns emittance then from comm lasers. More light reflecting off ships from the sun then from the lasers too...
When a signal drops below the noise ratio(SNR) detecting a signal becomes near impossible(but never zero)
You want to claim its otherwise provide no proof and then suggest I don't want a discussion because I call you on your lack of evidence?
Further its one thing to claim something for your game world, its another to claim it as fact in the physical world, Arioch has stated outright that MINES CANT WORK IN SPACE...
He provided no proof or evidence to back this up, its a statement with only speculation to support it which is proven false, even through I messed up my calculation it didn't change the result. As a matter of fact thanks to the correction from a second forum member 3rd source of evidence that the claimed reason for mines not being able to work by Arioch is false.
The fact that calling into account something Arioch said as being wrong is causing some people such problems on this forum is both amusing and blowing my mind.

Ahh, I see. I had mistaken this for a discussion.MBehave wrote:The difficulty at detecting the extremely low levels of backscatter in space is common knowledge and is SELF EVIDENT FACT, that does not require me to provide any sources.
Have fun with your monologue, but I don't think you're going to get much traction with anyone.
