I'm not sure what more of an explanation you are wanting. My original post was regarding hurricane/meteorology forecasts and the accuracy of them. No conspiracy theory or hidden agenda, or insinuating of "anything going on". Somehow, ocean mapping got into the picture.

There really isn't anything to explain/dive further on, as my stance is with meteorologists having need to be educated and certified, paired with technology and being able to take into consideration different weather conditions/variables, they should be able to make better/more accurate forecasts. I get it's not an exact science, BUT, each news station team has a panel of meteorologists (not just 1) and usually confer amongst themselves. I am wondering as to why something major as a hurricane can have multitudes of scenarios (rather than just a limited few) and be way off. The meteorologists should be able to use different events, such as fronts, troughs, El Nino, La Nina, wind shears, un/favorable conditions, etc. and be able to formulate a few accurate paths.

In terms of ocean mapping, again, I didn't bring this up, but the distances involved for the ocean and outer space are not comparable. From the surface to the location of the Titanic is less than 3 miles deep, whereas the distance from Earth to the Moon is thousands of miles away. Logically, one could think it is easier to map the ocean floor of where the Titanic sits than to map out the Moon. If we have the technology to map out the Moon with an advanced telescope, then I would think we would also have the technology (or could develop) to map underwater that's less than 3 miles deep.

How about this for conspiracy theory? There's no way in H3LL your seats can be that perfect (i.e. no creases, no lines, no wrinkles, no scratches, no stain transfer, etc.) and be a 2009. I think you bought new OEM seats and put them in recently.

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," Biden told the League of Conservation Voters at their annual dinner in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. "We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I'm not. I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble."

DaveZ03, now would be a great time to send me a blank check for funding to map out the ocean flooring. It's an untapped market and Brandon is planning on building "a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean".

I will publicly cut my balls off if anyone builds a railroad for commercial use across the ocean floor in the next 15 years.

DaveZ03, be sure to send a blank check my way and I will gladly take on the ocean mapping project. Someone has to do it.

We have a corrupt govt yet you guys are arguing over the ocean floor lol

I'm not the one pointing out a problem without offering up viable solutions in science, or even a grounded idea. Your issue, you find your own solution on your own dime. I still await your ground breaking approach to address these issues you are so up in arms about, which although monetarily speaking will not cost you anything, will cost you time and thought. Looking forward to your reply that addresses your concerns you pointed out with our current approach to these issues across meteorology and ocean exploration.

Discussions over science are at least based in some amount of measurable truth, unlike politics. Good luck with that spectrum of discourse and picking apart which pile of poo has more nuts in them, not to mention what Trips has already said about this thread being clear of politics.

Buddy, you're the one that brought up for me to come up with a solution. Since no solution is present and I am willing to do this, I need a financial backer.

BTW, I never brought up ocean floor mapping, and was a by-product somehow of the discussion. Read through the posts.
