im only 18.37 in & I've decided to comment this.
Strange I know you direct & do a lot of this as well. So it could help you out as well, as long as you credit me & anyone else.
This reminds me of the same problem I talked about for this flying manhole cover that might have gone to space that kyle hill did a video on & I either commented on it as xenonreality or the colorsingreylife.... Give me a sec.
It was the colorsingreylife.
here's my old comment.
Hey kyle! Great video, honestly totally felt you on this one. Doing that math is rough for most people and I bet they find it scary to approach with their audience. I think you did a fantastic job & really felt like I could easily understand what you were saying. I actually really happen to love deeper dives like this, so I really appreciated the video :) I also had some more thoughts about this (like seemingly everyone else lol But!
I think that's because we are a bunch of people with the hope that somehow, someway there is a perfect scenario that did manage to have it just get into space then we would maybe be able to look for it knowing the details about its trajectory) so I figured I would take a stab at the math & more to get a little, Perhaps too much, accurate and pedantically/semantically precise about it. Maybe even stray into a block of text comment with it. I'll see.
Alright, sooooo.....Let's start with the actual video in question! The original (if possible) film would be best, along with all possible microphones & even other cameras in the area recording. It's unlikely, but if they are there, its a maybe. So, starting with the knowledge of these cameras that we have will work best from here; Using the film known to be used, the distance, the time exposed to reaction heat distortion to the given captured changes, if it was instead a digital then the type of binary language & color binary, the loss type through to storage (as in the program removed a specific type & amount of information, what it relates to, etc) to gain back expected values that can be figured out with distance, total time of waiting before & after event, weather in the area, the expected values of light refraction, reflection, defractions, distortions, & all the rest that can be done, alongside of information pertaining to any and all other microphones & video cameras can also all help with us gaining a much, much more cleared and higher "bitrate resolution" its not, its just the total expected true values of a likely analog process, but...idk...do they understand it when its not like that stuff we use to relate it anymore? idk. Right also the dustiness of the lens, the scratches that day, if you could talk to the people there that day that would be great if they can remember.
But! at the very least it can just be a fun interview. But yeah, the actual lens used, great, the total dust for film (possibly), etc etc for all of that because it needs to be there in the beginning math. If it isn't that data point can throw out, massively, calculations down the line on this one. Because, yes, this would be to fully solve this as closely as possible, while trying to do a pvnp solve using as much old data as we could.
I mean, close to a solve for that, because if it did survive, we'll be able to know exactly where it would be in orbit and even try to shine a bright big boy laser to get a response back that we could see on a ir, visual spectrum, or other telescope as a way of saying yes indeed, we got it. That being said that's if it is still intact, if we did it right, we can hit a tiny tiny little spot with a laser powerful enough to get a pulse of light back.
From there, we can brute force the "ai sorting, filtering, & resolving the picture into a higher quality" its really just the puzzle piecing algorithm from stuff made here & or mark rober, i believe, that would basically sort specific area pixels on the sensor used to capture the film to digital that would then blend subpixels that get used with (if the film is the right film otherwise something else further down) predictive chaos theory mathematics to organize multiple likely photon starting points to use to match with the film and gain expected values in the "environment area of effect simulation" otherwise known as a cad space with some cool simulators attached to it.
Then, the frame by frame can be brute forced pixel by pixel for total contrast, color interference, bending of light, scattering & diffusal of photon wave lengths from multiple already known area values of light from the sun, clouds, towers, and all the rest to gain the corrected light seen on the film to have the change, luminosity needed, heat gain, how electromagnetic changed values, the extra light gained from sonoluminescence, compression ignition, light reflectance & capture to the shock-wave front at high density pressure wave frontal surface towards to rear trailing resonance least resistance movement to vacuum areas that move in quantized pockets of changing shape and density atmosphere.
Basically, balls of air and the resultive light total put out and or curved combined with interference effects for more curve or less & or increases & decreases in total luminosity. But it also gives us polarization & its effects involved in the capture. Of course this is only through reference of data of effects changed on film through the whole process. even the start of the film reels total heat vs later on, to even the total heat loss from moving from its initial position to its final will greatly effect those calculations. From here!
The calculations then can be used with light wave length shifts & those values to gain sound with the very film itself. Joe scott talked about a product with microsoft & someone else that had already made a working prototype. cool stuff, but it basically would be those calculations with the previously known & worked out math that makes it something that can be used with triangulation of the expected projectile.
You see, My thoughts are that the man hole cover might not have been perfectly welded, or even welded at all. I mean...I'm the army worker (what they are actually called, just don't remember or really know in this case, could be army corps of engineers that welded to someone else, I dunno) that has seen the destructive force of the nuke before or know about it so am I really going to weld it? But what if they check, the perspective shifts, how much "looks like i welded it" do i need to do to get away with it?
I don't know, so instead I do the sensible thing & see if the person who did it is still alive & get all candid with them, let them know hey they might have gone after you then but its not happening now how much did you really weld it & where if you did? What rod did you use, type of welding, the amount of time until blast, etc after letting them know that I'm doing it for calculations to see if its possible to really know what went down.
This, together with the sound data, the possible shadow produced, etc's of course gets us the expected area of the manhole cover, its shape, whether or not it fracture into a bunch of pieces as cast iron likes to do when suddenly & violently hit as massive speed (like with a lot of metals, but then it depends on the weld, the total occlusion, where (if any) they are, how the blast wave propagated up the tube, how much did the massive diaphragm of the Earth suddenly shifting upwards during this huge explosion created enough air movement to make a localized vacuum that had a shockwave pressure front that then had a secondary join it along with a likely 3rd from gas in front of the cover hitting the highest pressure point of density that is likely very hot, filled with moving electrons, has massive light happening, and is probably at a significant electromagnetic flux total) so it could just look like its a circle because of the poorer quality.
But this puts it to bed. Its shape, the setup with the frames before it shows up (if there might be more that before we couldn't see it on), the frames after telling us where its headed & its likeliest shape & even the expansion where it exploded if it did. We could see the "pieing" moment like in pumpkin chunking, when it accelerates too quickly then explodes through forces its going through.
This would help you out a lot, in terms of the needed work to help you out to brute force through this issue.
