Someone just e-mailed me a consolation as if I had lost or quit an argument.
Au contraire, mes amis. I'll make this brief.
Geo:
I am an artist, among other things. I understand perspective
in more ways than most people ever consider. That was never the issue.
If anyone else wants a lesson on optical illusions, perspective, etc. -
fine, but you need not continue trying to explain it to me.
That you would actually literally consider my joke at the end as having
anything to do with reality - lassoing comets? It rather spoils
everything if I must interject "Humor Alert" for those humorly impaired,
but I'll consider it. If you want to discuss Physics I'd be
glad to oblige. Name the time. Name the place. Pistols
at dawn in Central Park? That's been done.
(Not the list,please)
To quote you, "I don't know how much clearer I can make this for you."
Heads up: One cannot accurately apply the same concept of parallel
lines of railroad tracks on Earth to that of debris in orbit in space.
Bernd, if you are still around would you please comment on your choice of this example ?
Throwing down the gauntlet,
Julia
