In which case you are stupid. What is Lyman-alpha, woo boy?
Nothing to do with that ENA ring boy woo.

Lyman-alpha emitter - Wikipedia

"Most known LAEs are extremely distant......

.....is a type of distant galaxy that emits Lyman-alpha radiation from neutral hydrogen."

And let us all be clear what causes this emission....

Lyman series - Wikipedia

"The first line in the spectrum of the Lyman series was discovered in 1906 by Harvard physicist Theodore Lyman, who was studying the ultraviolet spectrum of electrically excited hydrogen gas."

Again, not neutral, but "electrically excited"....

Sigh, you people don't really know anything do you.... and still continue to ignore what that signature from those galaxies and the Milky-way is trying to tell you, since it is the signature of an electrically excited hydrogen atom......

No, you are out of your depth, woo boy. As any scientist would tell you. Want to try a physics forum, instead of hiding on here?

bring your pet boys on over and they'll be destroyed without their pet moderators to protect them....

By an unqualified wooist like you? Lol. Dreamer. You haven't got the cojones to try this rubbish on a physics forum. You are waaaaay out of your depth. Due to having no understanding of physics. That is why you post here. You are a poser.

Yes, you loon. A neutral hydrogen atom. As confirmed by decades of laboratory study, classifying these lines. On the other hand, you have nothing but misunderstanding and lies.

Done beat them there too, until their pet moderators jump in and protect them. They are all fakers and don't know anything about science and just like you stand on 95% Fairie Dust to back up their beliefs.

Bring them on over. Can't they discuss physics here as easily as they can there???? Or does being away from their pet moderators to protect them scare them????

Decades of laboratory study in which the hydrogen atom is "electrically excited" to a state where it is no longer neutral. My, how easy you keep forgetting those two little words.....

What makes you think yours are more accurate than theirs? Theirs is modelled and based on observation evidence and verified theory .. yours isn't. Yours is only based on misconceptions, misreadings and cartoon diagrams.

And let’s smash that 6 month Planck data gathering lie as well while we are at it..

Planck telescope maps light of the big bang scattered across the universe

“Scientists compiled the map from more than 15 months of observations by the ESA's Planck telescope.”

In other words, one full revolution around the sun as mapping sunward is impossible due to the radiation emitted by the sun, just as I told you was the case.

The temperature anomaly is also easy to explain, just not in your model. Your model fails all predictions which is why Saturn’s South Pole turned out to be the hottest when they predicted it was the coldest. Some had it predicted correctly, I’ll give you threee guesses.....

The same basic principle is at work in both causes.....

The model based upon their observations predicted 30 times less dust than actually existed.

What verified theory? Their theory was off by a factor of 30. That’s trash bin not even close.

What makes me think I am right? The fact they couldn’t even get it in the ball park right next door with their estimations. If they can’t predict 30 times the amount of dust than they thought existed just a hop skip and jump away, cosmological speaking, they sure don’t got it right hundreds to millions of light years distant.

You know it and I know it.

Faith, that is all you are left with when every single model they had of our own solar neighborhood was falsified. Not a single model they had was correct. This is your verified theory? The only thing they verified is that every model they had turned out to be wrong. And these are the people you put your faith in to tell you about things millions of light years distant when they can’t even get it right at the edge of our solar system?

Just incredible.....

They told you those falsified models were correct too, and one and all turned out to be wrong. Let me repeat that, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

What, you all don’t want to talk anymore about hydrogen spectra in the lab that has been “electrically excited” matching hydrogen spectra in the milky-way and other galaxies and in clouds of hydrogen in space?

Perhaps because to match they would have to be “electrically excited” too? Just a thought you might want to contemplate....

Then maybe you can comprehend what energetic neutral atoms really are, “electrically excited”...... shhh, that’s taboo in the modern pseudoscience they call astronomy....

Whatever meaning a human mind holds will not stop the body lying in the hot sun from getting a sunburn.

Whatever you may think a flu/cold may be, the tissue still will contain the evidence it is not in your mind!

Whatever meaning a human mind holds will not stop the body lying in the hot sun from getting a sunburn.
Yep .. because that's the meaning/concept the mind gives to the word 'sunburn' .. pain, redness, inflamation, etc.

Here is the dictionary definition.
Notice the other emboldened concepts developed by humans such as 'ultra-violet'.
Now show me your non-existent evidence that 'ultra-violet' is something that 'exists' as some kind of 'thing' or object floating around in space which somehow we instantly recognise as being an 'ultra violet' without using other concepts developed by scientific minds over the years ...

sunburn
/ˈsʌnbəːn/
noun
  1. reddening, inflammation, and, in severe cases, blistering and peeling of the skin caused by overexposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
    "my hands and face were raw with sunburn"
verb
  1. suffer from sunburn.
    "most of us managed to get sunburnt"
    synonyms: burnt, peeling, inflamed, red, scarlet, blistered, blistering
    "his scarlet, sunburned shoulders"

dad said:

Aha! There it is! Right on cue! The unsupported rant and fallacy by repeated assertion (as well as an attempt at accusing me of saying it was all in my mind .. which is not what I've said ... you did .. and not me .. please desist in citing that particular lie).

Whereas I support my argument with objective evidence ..
Each of the emboldened concepts/terms above can be easily demonstrated as having the human mind's fingerprints all over them. All you have to do is look 'em up and I guarantee you there is hard evidence that all these terms acquired their meanings from how the mind describes its perceptions arising from its human senses.

Idiotic comment. How can something be 'electronically excited' if it hasn't got an electron? SMH. Just link to wherever you are getting this woo from, yes? Otherwise you are making it up. Due to having no grasp of the actual science.

Just for the hard of thinking, once an ENA is created, it is no longer constrained to follow the magnetic field of the IMF. Ions, of course, are. Hence why we see these ENAs travelling in all sorts of directions, including coming back toward the Sun. An ion couldn't do that, because it is charged. And there is a magnetic field. Ions and electrons gyrate around the field lines as they head outwards from the Sun. It will depend whereabouts in that circular gyration it is when it becomes an ENA, that will determine where it heads off to, now that it is no longer constrained to stay on those field lines, due to being, errrr.......neutral! Not difficult, if you have even a basic grasp of plasma behaviour. Which the EU cranks most certainly don't.

Yes, we can talk about, but I don't see the point, as you are clueless on the subject. Which H clouds are you talking about? HI or HII? The former is neutral H, which can be detected in various wavelengths due to the various transitions of the electron. Look up Lyman-alpha forest. We can also detect it in the 21 cm line. The HII (H+) clouds are detected when the ion collects an electron and becomes neutral, emitting at various frequencies, but most strongly around 656 nm.

... energetic neutral atoms are not neutral....
They are so energetic they are putting out so much radiation they are two to three times brighter than anything else in the sky....

You keep ignoring that letter E for ENERGETIC. Energetic and neutral do not belong in the same sentence....
A word to the wise, Justatruthseeker - neutral refers to electric charge. Atoms are, by their nature, neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If you add or remove an electron, they become ions, with the respective electric charge.

But an atom can be excited or energetic. This means that it is not in its ground state, its lowest possible energy state; i.e. one or more of its electrons is in a higher orbital than it could be. Such atoms can radiate energy by such an electron dropping to a lower orbital, emitting a photon of characteristic energy.

So an excited or energetic neutral atom is a perfectly legitimate concept, and is not an ion.

This is physics & chemistry 101, basic stuff.

It had everything to do with it.... You still can't bring yourself to accept that energetic neutral atoms are not neutral....

Cant give up your pseudoscientific beliefs in neutrality....
You mean the excited hydrogen atom is not neutral.
Enough is enough show us a textbook reference, a peer reviewed paper etc which supports this nonsense, otherwise stop engaging in this stupid lying.


Final warning if you continue to take me out of context over Hubble or any other subject matter I will start reporting your posts to the moderators.

Last and final warning. Keep that up and, never mind, your a child, I should expect nothing less....

A New Non-Doppler Redshift

Bremsstrahlung - Wikipedia

Not that I expect you to understand either of them, which it is clear you do not.....
What happened to the mechanism involving QM/QED word salad?
Has it suddenly gone out of fashion as I had to remind you your previous excursion into the subject matter involved Bremmstrahlung?

You did a Google search using the terms “Optical Depth”, “Bremmstrahlung” and “Blackbody” and came up with the above links.
Once you found the links with the required words your default position was achieved, namely your ideas are automatically validated and everyone else is wrong and deficient; without even having to understand the detail behind the links.
This is why you are an individual of low intelligence.

If you did have a grain of intelligence and at the very least tried reading the links, you would have realised that Bremmstrahlung occurs in a plasma medium located between the source of ions/electrons and the observer.
The ions/electrons move towards the observer.
This is where optical depth of the medium comes into the picture as it is the percentage of radiant energy from Bremmstrahlung passing through the medium that reaches the observer.

In your nonsensical mechanism the exact opposite occurs; the ions/electrons (solar wind) are moving away from the observer towards the interstellar medium located at the boundary of the solar system.
There is no optical depth to speak of as there no photons passing through the interstellar medium back to the observer.
If you had even the vaguest understanding of Bremmstrahlung, the radiated photons follow a forward dipole angular distribution where no photons will reach the observer.

Congratulations rather than demonstrating your intellectual prowess this is another foot in mouth job where your link makes a mockery of your pet theory rather than supporting it.
Don’t insult the intelligence of the readers.

Another example where Bremmsstrahlung is beyond your understanding.
If there are no collisions or veering of the solar wind then it also rules out Bremmstrahlung.
Why don’t you try reading your own links

Neither do you, what part of that ribbon of "energetic neutral atoms" did you not understand????
A truly stupid statement; what should I understand about ENA’s that explains the discrepancy of the CMB having a temperature of 2.7K yet measurements of the CMB in your pet model is around 500,000K.

Another blatant lie and as you don't even comprehend the significance of the image let alone assess that it is not caused by our galaxy's motion.
What happened to “it’s caused by the Earth’s orbit” or has it suddenly gone out of fashion like your QM/QED word salad; or is it you are just too scattered brained in producing a coherent consistent argument.

One thing is certain however you have put your foot in your mouth again as the caption to your attachment states “The CMBR Dipole: Speeding through the Universe” which is quite definitive in explaining what is causing the dipole.

Why don’t you do the calculations for us instead?
It’s quite simple the total mass of the Universe using (Ωm, Ωλ) = (0.3, 0.7) is around 3 X 10⁵⁵g, now add up all the discovered mass and see if it equals the dark matter component.

You got twice as much mass as the galaxy itself. That is far more than your petty 25%, plus there you go again, ignoring the electromagnetic forces in plasma.....
This is why asking you to calculate the missing mass is ultimately a futile exercise beyond your intellectual capacity as the 25% value is based on the total mass of the Universe, doubling the mass of the galaxy results in an infinitesimal increase.

Thanks for inadvertently demonstrating why the extra mass doesn’t make up the numbers.

So dust equals plasma????
If you think it amounts to increasing the mass the Universe by a factor of 30 then all the faith lies with you.
That puts the icing on the cake for your totally ridiculous response plus the sulking nature that would have done an immature 12 year old proud.
To conclude let me warn again if you continue making up stories and attributing them to me I will start reporting your posts.

Objective evidence that the sun does stuff outside your head? Easy.

"Plants


According to artificial UV light exposure studies on crops, UV rays decrease the crop yield in key crops, such as rice, soy, oats, beans and sorghum. The plants minimize their exposure to UV by limiting the surface area of foliage, which in turn impairs growth. The observed drop in yield, however, does not seem serious enough for scientists to sound the alarm.


Animals
Excessive exposure to UV radiation can cause cancers in mammals, including humans, and damage their eyesight. While fur protects most animals from direct overexposure to damaging rays, the radiation may damage the unprotected body parts, such as the nose, paws and muzzle.


Marine Life
According to a NASA education web page updated in 2001, increased amounts of UV-B waves adversely affects marine plankton that populate the first 7 feet (2 meters) of ocean water. The natural response of the most chlorophyll-packed cells is to produce more light-absorbing pigments or sink lower in the water for self-protection. However, evading the sun reduces their ability to go through photosynthesis, which means they cannot grow or reproduce as normal.

Competition
UV exposure may also adversely change a species' ability to compete with other species. In the future, UV-resistant plants may prevail over UV-vulnerable ones, meaning that UV-resistant plants, such as tetraploid plants, will overtake plants easily damaged by UV rays, such as the wild, diploid version of the plant, according to research at Tokai University Japan."

https://www.hunker.com/13418807/how-does-uv-exposure-affect-plants-animals

The effects of the sun. Neither are the effects of time. Man is not the only creature or physical body that time affects in a real way. S stop trying to make it sound like man invented the universe will ya?

The reference is from this peer reviewed paper.
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0910/0910.5102.pdf
So author and the peer review panel are liars are they?
Rather than this being the case, as usual it’s your inability to read and comprehend.
It took 6 months to scan the whole sky but to increase the S/N ratio; there is 15 months worth of data.

In other words, one full revolution around the sun as mapping sunward is impossible due to the radiation emitted by the sun, just as I told you was the case.
You have got to be kidding and stop insulting the intelligence of the reader.
Let me remind of your original quote.
“Except the scans of the CMB are not a continuous scan. They are made at the same time during the year so the satellite is in the correct hemisphere.”
First of all the dead giveaway was to refer to the “correct hemisphere” as you obviously thought initially Planck was in an Earth orbit.
Secondly your revision is not correct either as Planck was not in a solar orbit but orbited around the L₂ Lagrangian point.
Thirdly by referring to this latest link you have admitted your original quote was based on a lie as I stated at the time.

Far from taking any credit you have yet again put your foot in your mouth by inadvertently admitting you lied.

Why don’t you bring the tooth fairy into the discussion as well as it has as much relevance.
