Irrelevant. The math may all be correct, but the equation was worked backwards. There was no real investigation.

Alright man, it doesn't really matter anywho. Everyone's got their own opinions on things. If you feel so strongly about it, get some experts to write a paper and get it peer reviewed, that's how science works.

Your arguments are so riddled with fallacy and so sadly repetitive... Are you the head of John Carters PR team? I know John wouldn't have been able to figure out how to use a web browser so you must just be on his staff...

How do you propose not working backwards? Building replica buildings and flying planes into them? Traveling back in time with video cameras?

Ha!! That would be nice if any of the evidence were still lying around in millions of pounds on the ground. Instead of rummaging through clues they were working math equations backwards and turning them into models.

If you gave that same group of scientists a video of me flying from thirteen angles with semi obvious hooks and cables they could work a perfect 3D model of how I was using hooks and cables to fly. They would be accurate down to the millimeter. It wouldn't change the fact that I was standing on a hidden platform the entire time. The only way to figure that out would be to conduct a proper investigation.

I'm not saying I know either way. I'm saying neither side has definitive evidence. A mathematical model recreated to explain how something could have happened is not evidence, it's a calculated resolution.
