scientificaly uses one headlight from his car to take a picture of a Leggo Lunar Module (yes, I said Leggo Lunar Module).
Essentially, what I gathered, was that Jarrah was stating that Mythbusters didn't show their albedo test so he's calling them liars. According to this video, they claimed their mixture resulted in an 8% albedo, but they didn't show the results, only the figures on the calculator so they must have used a higher percentage mixture. He's stating, correctly, that the Portland Cement that they used has a much higher albedo than asphelt. Mythbusters did, however, mix charcoal into their mixture and this creates a much, much lower reflective percentage (i.e. albedo).
My question to anyone, if they would care to answer, is this: Since he was stating that Mythbusters was lying about the result of their albedo test on concrete and charcoal, why didn't he just create his own sample of the mixture that Mythbusters used and test it himself? Why did he have to drive 20 miles outside of Sydney, duct tape a headlight, and take an overexposed picture of a miniature Leggo Lunar Module to prove his point? I think Jarrah is just trying to save his grandfather's name.Statistics: Posted by ProfWag — 09 Feb 2010, 10:57
