It is not absolutely momentum conservation or absolutely       center of mass conservation. They both work so why draw a line between       the two.              On another note what about one of the masses radioactively decaying       losing mass but not violating the conservation of momentum as stated       before. It is a tricky problem with no easy answers that I can think       of. Ears open if you have a fix.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
