"Mind Over Matter" experiments at Princeton U. I tried to check your equations out with one of my ping pong balls. However, my dog squooshed it just when I was verifying V3. It was my last ball. I'll have to trust you for now. In the meantime, you may be interested in this report of experiments at Princeton University concerning the transfer of energy from one mind to another, which appear to defy known laws of physics.

I really should have been more clear. I wasn't meaning you specifically when I wrote "bonehead, etc." I was trying to describe a range of reactions among posters in general to reading others' posts. I apologize for any offense. As to the next assignment to come up with a psychological equivalent for mass and velocity: In the mid-50s. a force "racism" was met with its equal and opposite force "the civil rights movement". At the peak of its power its mass was the accumulation of all the "been down too long"s and "ain't gonna take this no more"s of millions of black Americans, and tens of millions of Americans of other races who supported their struggle. Velocity, defined as a measure of the rate of motion of a moving body, is represented by the speed in which this mass of civil rights activists and supporters we able to introduce laws that effectively outlawed institutional racism.
