Reply #33: Nothing but ad hominems and non-sequiturs from Mr. bolo

Congrats. Once again, you have nothing constructive to add to the discussion.

Let me try to explain it in a way even an IHOPing pancaker like you can understand. Have you ever heard of Newton's 3rd law of motion? For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

1) ...So why does the undamaged lower block offer ZERO resistance to the alleged to the 'falling' upper Block? Is the lower block made of air? The upper block should have been destroyed just as much as the lower block, according to Newton's 3rd Law. Since the mass of the lower block is much greater than the upper block, the upper block would have been disintegrated long before the lower block was disintegrated, and long before it could reach the ground. And if the upper block is disintegrated long before it reaches the ground, then there's nothing left to act as a pile driver on the lower block.

Again, why does the upper block descend completely through the lower block as though it wasn't even there?? (which is the definition of FREEFALL). Where is the EQUAL and OPPOSITE reaction (resistance) provided by the lower block?? Why does it offer zero resistance to the much smaller upper block?

2) It's a pretty simple fucking question. So respond with a credible answer or GTFO.


3) Just WTF is a limiting cause and what the hell does it have to do with applied Newtonian physics, which is what this thread and Szamboti's paper is about?? If you want to talk about some stupid shit that has nothing to do with the OP, start your own thread.
