[QUOTE="rwleonard, post: 16173541, member: 186646"] "I'm just saying it's technically possible to orbit a 2D object like the flat earth in this case. " This whole thing reminds me of a conversation in a local gun shop. Three fellows were discussing what would happen if a person standing in the front of a plane travelling at 900 fps shot a pistol with a muzzle velocity of 900 fps at a person in the rear of the plane. I told them an observer on the ground would see the bullet accelerate to 0 relative to the ground, while the plane dragged the guy in the back of the plane into it at 900 fps. The people in the plane would notice no difference from any other shooting. One of the guys said, "I know that's what the physics says, but is that what really happens?" To which I replied, "First off, I don't believe for a second that you knew that is what the physics says. Second, what do you think physics is?" It took me a while to convince them this was not some mysterious, burning question in physics, the answer to which no one really knew for sure. [/QUOTE]
