An Unbelievable Throw?

[SAump]

Thank YOU, Mr. B, for your wonderful contribution to this thread. I completely agree with your very careful analysis. I am almost flabberghasted when I read the things these guys write. Their argument is so silly and fictitious. I have been completely amused from the very beginning. I really thought that this was another entertaining myth similar to the FLIGHT of the BUMBLE BEE. The LORD knows that I have tried to put an end to this FALLING 100-mph BASEBALL MYTH for some time. Page after page and FINALLY someone else (YOU) admits that there just might be another OUTSIDE force equal to or greater in the opposite direction to balance or overcome the force of gravity "g". NOW STOP to consider all the contributions of ALL UPWARD OUTSIDE forces for a moment. Do any of these exist in a FLUID?

I LOVE IT when a PHYSICIST with a 100 mph WIND TUNNEL at his disposal will refuse to CORRECTLY acknowledge LIFT! {Please take it away from him GEORGE before he hurts himself.} Oh, he did incorrectly SPIN UP the story. His ONE assumption of INCREASING SPIN only provides a smaller secondary UPWARD force at lower velocity. I also love to describe LIFT as an outside FORCE. You ride in the inside of an airplane because LIFT is acting UPWARD along the OUTSIDE wings of an airplane. My favorite OUTSIDE FORCES, of course, are HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL AIR RESISTANCE; alala the AIR via 100-mph WINDS. Did I not explain properties of FLUID DYNAMICS from the very beginning? You would think the PHYSICS majors would have taken courses in FLUID DYNAMICS. What about FRICTION and other Boundary-layer DYNAMICS? CORIOLIS, turbulence, eddies, and pertubations must be as meaningless as a knuckleball to these DARK-AGE men.

Oh well, your bright bit of beautiful sunshine over this DARK landscape renewed my hope for intelligent signs of life on EARTH. I'll keep searching for more on this website because I get a kick from the surprises found in an unexpected chaotic WORLD. If only our ENVIRONMENT would settle down under the GRAVITY of ALL 3(.5=inertia) Laws of MOTION. Please tell them for ME, that gravity and spin are not the only outside forces found beneath our GLOBAL DOME.
