"One you do learn some physics you'll recall this conversion and cringe in embarrassment, not at your ignorance, but at your refusal to learn."
Just FYI, your conversational partner's website says:
"Paul Lutus has a wide background in science and technology. He designed spacecraft components for the NASA Space Shuttle and created a mathematical model of the solar system used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the Viking Mars mission."
- ars 11y agoThat doesn't make any sense at all. How is it possible that someone with a "wide background in science" has not heard about conservation of momentum? Are you sure it's the same person?
- dllthomas 11y agoAm I sure? I've done no verification. But while I'm occasionally frustrated with the holder of that account I've seen no particular reason to believe that they are not who they claim to be. I am sure that the account holder claims to be Paul Lutus, as the link is on his profile. 'How is it possible that someone with a "wide background in science" has not heard about conservation of momentum?' It's probably not; but this comment thread (wading through the jibes, snipes, and nonsense) doesn't seem to demonstrate with much clarity that he hasn't.
