|    Measure distances with perspective    |

      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              As it goes away, any object on Earth appears to us ever smaller, and as       it approaches it seems bigger.              Is this inverse proportionality between the distance of a known object       and its apparent size (theoretically) allow in the future to       immediately know a distance simply by measuring one its apparent size       without having to synchronize the clocks and without having to wait for       a return signal?              --       Luigi Fortunati              -Nonostante tutto il mio impegno non riesco a imporre alla mia ragione       l'accettazione dell'irrazionale.       -Despite all my commitment I can not impose on my reason the acceptance       of the irrational.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
