When will you complete cretins understand that you can't prove a scientific theory, only disprove it?
Is it a low IQ that keeps you from grasping this elementary point?

Correct. However you're still a fick koont.

More Walter Mittyesque gibberish

You really are a walking advertisement for what Muscle Memory is all about. For example, if we take a real leap of faith and categorize your tiny brain as a muscle(weedy though it clearly is), then there is endless proof on here of the notion.
It proved stupid the last time you used it, and it will prove stupid the next.

And as for cognitive abilities, most people have items in their sock drawer that could beat you at Bridge!!

You have a low IQ. Why don't you tell us?

I think given the travails of your family members that you have posted here over time, you ought to keep a low profile. It's quite clear what cognitive milieu you inhabit.

When I was a student I calculated that this had to be true from observations and use of spherical geometry. I went up to Scotland to prove my theory- and I was right

..

And how many have a thought, but then go out to do the measurement ?

not many. so well done indeed.
you might well be the best scientist on cuk

Let me know when you go there and say that to their faces. I'd like to come and watch

There's nothing this turd would say to anyone's face. A coward of remarkable proportions indeed.

That's not really true. As Cliphead says, where he is it doesn't get completely dark. This is because places north of the Scottish border are close enough to the arctic circle (where the sun sits at midnight) to get a little light.

There is no such thing as "completely dark". And it may be lighter on the horizon, but overhead it will be dark so sufficiently big displays will still be visible, when they get higher up the sky.
Given a strong display is visible with a full moon though, a bit of light on the horizon is not too bad...

(well maybe some of the outlying islands but they hardly count).

Typically a blue area of light, sometimes with clouds visible, due north. Which is itself unusual.

I felt like Newton or Galileo..

The theory that drinking copious amounts of Scottish beer has similar effects to English beer?

Allegedly with a strong display the full moon isn't a factor, so as long as it does actually get dark it would be visible... and even in midsummer the whole of the UK gets dark at night (well maybe some of the outlying islands but they hardly count).

I'll keep me eyes peeled

I always thought it was a winter thing, what with the darkness required to see it properly. Far enough north in summer and it never really gets dark enough?

You can get same effect anytime of the day with a 100 MT yield bomb...
