Immediately reminded me of this "Bottomless well" article that explains this exact scenario: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.261068/page/n75/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.261068/page/n7... Spent many hours with this 2-volume book "Physics for Entertainment" by Ya Perelman as a kid, and now I'm motivated to go back and read it all over again! A lot of these Russian science/math/fiction books were available at very low cost during the '80s in India.

It reminded me of this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/12eggw/comment/c6ulszb/ https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/12eggw/comment/... It remains one of the best posts on that platform imho, and unlike this article, is actually correct in its assertions and descriptions (to the point that human knowledge can be certain).
