So-called "moral rights" are not and can not be derived from basic human rights.
Again, not really. Let's take the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948):
Article 27:
(2) Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.
If I own a thing, it is mine to do with as I please, despite whatever the artist may intend.
If I somehow get my hands on an original Picasso and it is legally mine, then I am well within my rights to spray Beluga caviar all over it and utterly destroy it in that way, because it is my property.
Not really: there are the moral rights of the creator that prevent you to do that. And moral rights are independent of legal property.
That same thermometer (a satellite really) has shown a decrease and leveling off of global temperatures over the past 10 years which disagrees with all global warming climate models.
When the decision will be appealed, everything will change: French judges uses RNGs to decide which one is right (except if you attack the government; in that case, you're always wrong).
Another 3-year-old question that bugs me: If they're that big, how can they be 'fundamental'? Doesn't 'big' kinda imply 'composed of smaller things'?
Not at all. "Fundamental" means they are the basis of several theoretical considerations. Here, the Higgs boson, if it really exists, should explain why the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force are not identical.
Additionally, the Higgs boson, as an elementary particle, lives on its own. It is not a mixture of other particles, according to the Standard Theory.
Another really dumb question: 'how BIG is a photon and what SHAPE is it'?
According the the Standard Theory of physics, photons have no shape (they are points, in a way). Thus, no size. They can be mapped, as you said, to an actual EM wave only because they are MANY of them traveling at the same time to your receiver.

Where is the RAW data of this satellite?
