First you ask me whether the running man scene is possible in SO 2001. I haven't seen the scene. I am guessing that it might be a centrifugal field scene. So I replied to that. I even gave you a scientific forum site that is dedicated to just that space zero gravity model-simulation. As I pointed out, the simulation is just that a simulation. I think, but I have not accurately modeled, by mathematical means, that there would be more forward inertia than on earth. It takes accurate modeling as it is impossible to test on earth. In fact because of the differing gravity from toes to ears, there is a problem staying upright as vertigo would set in due to the differential movement and acceleration of the head and the feet.

Second you have suggested that I am asking people to stretch credibility in that I do not have a definitive answer either to these questions or in parallel as to whether or not Wildcat has oodles of gold on its properties. The only answer I can give you is you have to buy it to try it. There is lots of opportunity out there to develop gold mines or do anything else for that matter. You either trust people or you have to trust the situation. If the situation gives them too much wiggle room, then people may Enron. If the situation is undercapitalized then it could fail too for reasons not to do with competence or integrity. Everyone fears the little guy's undercapitalization. There are fewer crooks out there, or people who are fooling themselves in small business than in large though.

So I am little bit Star Trek, and a little bit Star Wars.
