Remember folks, science can *never* prove something is true, it can only prove something is false, and like Sherlock, whatever is left standing must be true (until we prove even that false)
@1000Frolly is saying that the data proves a hypothesis false… I see science at work
And if you want to explore some of the ways data can support @1000Frolly claiming a hypothesis is false, I suggest you have a look at the radiosonde data. Plot molar density against pressure and explain how you always get two linear regions (and sometimes a third)…
Also remember that the hypothesis @1000Frolly is claiming is false specifically requires that molar density vs pressure will be non linear as it critically relies on the absence of thermodynamic equilibrium vertically in the atmosphere, so linear regions are completely counter
