(8,377 posts)"up" is relative to the spe3ed of the car. When you do jumping jacks on a train, you don't bounce to the back of the train. You continue to move forward with the train, even when you are not in physical contact with the floor of the train.
If you are riding in a car going at 70 MPH and you toss a ball up in the air, it doesn't co crashing through the back window. It just goes straight up and down, RELATIVE to the speed of the car.
Have you ever taken a physics class?
"Simple physics" says that if the bulk of brain matter was behind JFK, then the force had to come from in front of him. The only other explanation would be that although the limo was only going 10 MPH, the brain matter was lofted so high that the wind carried it backwards. That flies in the face of the medical observations that there was a small wound in front and a larger wound in the rear, which indicates entry in the front (when the bullet was intact) and exit in the read (after the bullet fragmented.) THAT, and not the idea of a shot from the read, is most consistent with the facts.
At minimum ant reasonable person in possession of knowledge of "simple physics" would have to conclude it is far more likely the third shot came from the front rather than the rear. That also is consistent with the fact that the interval between the second and third shots (according to the Warren theory -- other theories argue they there was a 4th shot almost simultaneous with the third) is impossibly short for that gun.
This type of bullshit is exactly why so many people have distrusted the Warren report from the very first day. Much of it makes no sense whatsoever, and the authoritarians pushing that theory rely on pseudo-science time after time to explain the highly improbable.
