@RaMansell @PhysInHistory Not only that, but "accelerated expansion" is the placeholder (i.e. theory) for the observation of an unexpected redshift/distance relationship. Indeed the Big Bang Theory is such a placeholder, explaining redshift/distance relationships first observed by E. Hubble.

@memcculloch When you start receiving flak, you know you are over the target.- old bomber pilot saying

@PatreonSupport Okay, I see now. I found tags under the collections tab, and they do seem to be working. Thank you!

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@PatreonSupport I've not posted in a while... today noticed I cannot see my tags, nor find my posts by searching for tags. But I can still apply tags when creating a post. What gives? Tags are a huge, valuable tool that many have invested in... please keep/restore them!

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@PatreonSupport As I said, I can still apply tags when I create (page two input). Where do these tags go now? I've got hundreds of posts tagged this way and that... can those tags be converted into collections? Can a post appear in several collections at once?

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@Patreon Tags are a good way to organize content! Where have they gone?

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@Patreon I have lost control of tags!

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@GooslyTFs Tags can still be applied to your new / created posts on the second page in the creative process. But the bigger question now is, where do you see tags as a visitor, or how do you search/filter posts by tag? Where is the "tag list?" Tags seem to be gone, which makes no sense.

@PeterVermont @memcculloch Peter, thank you this was a great tip! McCulloch will speak to our astronomy club in February! Such an interesting theory, that explains (and predicts) so many anomalous observations!

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@William38699931 @BasedF15pilot @ericweinstein @joerogan I think you've misunderstood McCulloch's theory. When accelerations are very small, inertial mass is reduced. (i.e. wide binary stars, stars far enough from a galactic core...) In any kind of high acceleration regime, inertial mass will equal gravitational mass i.e. weight.

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@planet4589 @nadiamdrake @theferaltweets ...and if positive evidence of extraterrestrial technology were found, what are the odds this would actually be made public? I propose the odds are very small. Although I think UAP are worthy of this study, I believe the results are doomed to be controversial either way.

@AJamesMcCarthy Beautiful animation, seek your permission to show this to my astronomy club on <https://t.co/ZLanscCWb0>

@RealOrFake3D There are examples of how foreground objects "pull" the background to their level... But there is also some very well done conversion, where e.g. reflections are treated correctly, and some scenes of wonderful spatial 3d complexity (possibly stereo rendered fly-throughs city).

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@RealOrFake3D Thanks for your excellent web page! I need to report an error. I just viewed Space Pirate Captain Harlock 3D, and while 3d is well done, it is a conversion (with errors visible). Sad because the film is CGI, and would have been great in native 3d!

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@RealOrFake3D There are discontinuities in depth progression, there are reflections on surfaces that appear to "stick to" those surfaces (reflected imagery is in the 3d space behind surfaces), there are discontinuities in depth of objects across cuts (like the Arcadia closing on empire ship).

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@RealOrFake3D Hi, sorry for delay in my reply. I don't use twitter regularly. Actually I'm about to post some "evidence" on my Patreon blog, along with screen grabs. As far as conversions go, Harlock seems well done, but throughout the film there are various little conversion artifacts...

[Boris Starosta @retrocycler]

@RealOrFake3D Hi again, please correct this error: "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" While some of the imagery is native stereoscopic (but very badly handled or shot), the underground/cave imagery is converted (awful conversion, too). In sum, film gives a black eye to the 3D genre.
