tim's working on physics

Posted 2004-09-15 00:09:24 by Jim Crawford Tim: Drag seems to be working. Tim: Yeah, it was normalize() not liking zero velocity. Me: So now you have particles settling to the bottom of a bowl of jello? Tim: They don't settle, they just fall. Forever. Me: So it's an infinite volume of jello! Tim: Yay! Tim: Hmm, I wonder if there's always room for an infinite volume of jello. Me: I'm sure a lot of astrophysicists want to know this as well. In the interests of full disclosure, I should point out that my friends and I aren't nearly as quick-witted as these exchanges I sometimes post make us out to be. For instance, according to my records, 35 seconds elapsed between the last two sentences. Though this kind of delay often happens due to both of us doing other things as we talk, in this case I was composing the reply over about 30 of those seconds. Try that in a voice conversation.
