If you're the rotating observer, then you definitely do       not want to put your head in the way of a freely moving massive object,       because it will appear to be doing work on your face. One can then argue       about what is doing work on what, but the damage to the face will be the       same.              Sylvia.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
