OBSERVATION → COMPARISON → CLAIM

What would
convince you?

An attractive image is a beginning. A scientific explanation also needs observations, a comparison and a limit on what can be concluded.

Synthetic observation

Reference redshift z 0.000

0.0000.020

Synthetic line-position markers with equal heights, not a measured spectrum or an intensity comparison. Approximate hydrogen teaching calculation.

Read the line positions

COMPARISON RULE

At least 3 observed lines, each within 1.5 nm of the shifted reference. Adjust the reference, then decide.

Optional: check your understanding

MAKE THE CONNECTION

Does this observation meet the displayed rule at this reference setting?

Yes, the pattern supports a match under this ruleNo, this comparison is not enough to support a match

LOOK BEHIND THE RENDERING

The rendering is a view of a coordinate model, not the raw diffraction measurement. Inspect that distinction with deposited hemoglobin structures.
