On the mysterious Vela incident that happened in 1979, when a Velda satellite picked up two bright flashes reminiscent of a nuclear weapon detonation in the Indian ocean southeast of South Africa. It's been speculated that South Africa and possibly Israel were involved but nothing has been (publicly) confirmed.

Video compilation of beautiful and quite realistic old paintings. The narrator brings up a good point on how the formula for this super fine paint is lost to us these days and that we can't even come close to it. How can this be?

So why don't we have replicas of these old paintings in better quality? Or do we? (Since from what I'm aware of, being lower paint quality is the give away)

What lower paint quality? What give away? Been a bit back when I watched this video, but lucky my last timestamp at 18:11 from last I watched seems to ask this question if you watch for one minute. Narrator asking; Not sure where I heard the mention of paint. But highly recommend watching whole video for a sense of how expertly these old paintings were done.

What's the point of replicas? What lower paint quality? What give away? Been a bit back when I watched this video, but lucky my last timestamp at 18:11 from last I watched seems to ask this question if you watch for one minute. Narrator asking; Not sure where I heard the mention of paint. But highly recommend watching whole video for a sense of how expertly these old paintings were done. Goddam, yes! They were absolutely painted with great expertise and masterly craftsmanship! And that's still an understatement. - I mean, Goddam, Yes! Where to start? How about, - we also have examples of failures. (And some of even Leonardo's own were, because he experimented a lot). Just as we also have examples of great craftsmanship and failures in art and artists today. While the video is worth watching just for the wonderful imagery, I feel they are selling a false narrative, They make a lot of dubious claims, while they try to present it in a way that is supposed to seem credible. They are saying things like “it would be impossible to...”, “We don't know...” as well as leaving questions like “Did they pose for years?” hanging in the air unanswered. They say things like “it would take years...”. No it wouldn't take years. It's in the technique and materials. But also, they would spend years! The old artists didn't shy away from that. We know they did sometimes. Even modern realistic painters sometimes spend a lot of time. Do we know everything about every classical painter and everything about every classical painting? Of course not. But we can paint thin layers. It's not even hard. It's in the choice of solvent. We can paint without visible paint strokes. It's not even hard. It's in the choice of oil. We know what they did. We know why they did it. We know what materials and methods they used. It can be replicated today. As for making a picture that looks realistic, it's just part of the skills every realistic artist develop, even today. It's fundamentally a taught and practiced skill, aided by talent, just like playing music. The example with Vermeer and the chandelier, for instance. He would have used a projecting technique common in those times, either Camera Obscura or Camera Lucida. He would have made the value underpainting of the chandelier, in a single stint, capturing it in a short time. No mystery. He would take time to finish it later. The couple would only pose for their faces. They might have used mannequins for the clothes. Some people still work that way, though there is of course a lot of dependency on photography today. It's the other way around. Classical paintings don't have evidence of photography. Which is often visible in modern finished paintings, as traces of evidence in the image projection, value range or color choices, all coming from the camera's process, not the painter's vision. And let's get back to Vermeer, regarding the notion that this sort of stuff depends on knowledge that has been lost or kept secret: As for pigment particles being so fine their size cannot be measured, that just seem a contrived phrase to me. Paint particles in modern artists' paints are typically much finer than in classical paintings. They're also sometimes finer than in printing inks (which were referenced by the narrator as some example that I think was supposed to seem mindboggling). And small pigment particles is not a property that has any bearing at all on the other subjects of their narrative. The cited examples of the “thinnest” layers, for instance, is probably not taken from paint layers, but isolating layers of varnish. Leonardo sometimes milled his pigments much longer than was normal for his times. But that's just the sort of person he was. He was a geek and tinkerer, curious and a perfectionist. The way you get smaller pigment particle size is just that you mill it longer. It takes time and elbow grease. That's all, no mystery. Every pigment has a range of particle size that can be characterized as optimal. If you mill it for too long, it may go through color changes, become unclean, or even lose its color. Many pigments lose their durability and becomes less permanent if you mill them for too long. But initially, pigments gain tinting strength when milled. That was probably what interested Leonardo. The milling procedure itself though, really isn't so much about making particles smaller, as “wetting” the pigment particles, dispersing them in the binder. Some compounds make smaller particles naturally. Others not, and for oil it's often not worthwhile to grind them much finer. You may end up with a paint of lower quality. For airbrushing, you want finer, but not too fine, because then they become dangerous. For watercolors, you want finer again, but not too fine, because then they'll lose their lightfastness. Artists have throughout the ages struggled with the permanence of their art. This was the main focus of the old heritage of knowledge and apprenticeships. That was the main reason behind all their methods. They had a limited selection of materials, and flawed materials. But they figured out ways to use some of them in permanent ways. For bright colors they depended on a few compounds of Lead, Tin, Antimony, Arsenic, Copper, Mercury, Sulfur, that often had poor chemical stability, and would react with each other or other pigments. They solved that problem by not mixing them, painting them in different layers instead, isolated by resin varnishes. Today, many artists fail with permanence because of their own ignorance of the basic permanence issue. Because it's not something the schools make a big deal of, any longer. But that doesn't mean that the knowledge has been lost. ...Yet. Art through the ages is also shaped by the economic factors. An artist need to produce something that he can sell with a profit. Art has been valued for different properties through the ages. During the Renaissance, art was valued by the craftsmanship of the artist. And the craftsmanship of the artist was valued by how 'lifelike' the painting seemed. That has changed.

Both claims are false. Just because the narrators want us to believe so, or even believe so themselves, doesn't make it so. 1) Is not even hard. You simply use an oil painting medium that doesn't leave brush marks. The strokes and color transitions themselves you just blend out with a fan brush or other soft brush . It's a common technique even today, but it's not as valued, as both artists and customers tend to like visible brush work nowadays. Also, it's rarely used for borderlines today, the technique Leonardo referred to as sfumato. Again, it's not fashionable, but certainly possible. The fan brush, which he shows in the last seconds, is the typical tool for blending color transitions. 2) They didn't even make paint particularly fine. It doesn't have any particular advantages, on the contrary. So the claim is false in two ways. But paint can be milled arbitrarily fine with traditional methods. It's just time and effort.

The first video seems like a strawman misrepresentation. Can you show that technique working for something very detailed and complex as in those old paintings? Second video just showed someone mixing paint, never showing how it comes out against a canvas and then magnified up very close and compared to old paintings.

Get some personal experience, like. Then you can tell me why you think it doesn't work, and why artists have done it wrong for millenniums.

Those old paintings look pretty photo-realistic detailed to me. Well the claim in that video is that while with today's modern equipment we can measure the size of particles in today's paint, we do not have equipment that can measure those old painting particles at all because they are too small. @timestamp 27:09 to 28:28.

As for making paint, why don't you show me what you're so amazed by in old paintings, concerning the paint? Because I don't get that part. Otherwise, I recommend you to mill some paint yourself. Get some personal experience, like. Then you can tell me why you think it doesn't work, and why artists have done it wrong for millenniums. Those old paintings look pretty photo-realistic detailed to me. Well the claim in that video is that while with today's modern equipment we can measure the size of particles in today's paint, we do not have equipment that can measure those old painting particles at all because they are too small. @timestamp 27:09 to 28:28. ... <cough> ...Do you watch many newearth videos?

Negative. Only seen that one if I recall correctly. Why, what ad hominem you have in mind? Back on track, it's not necessary my claims, it's newearth's claims I've parroted that you've challenged. And if newearth's claims are wrong, will welcome the correction.
