Thanks Bert … cool … our paradigms of understanding (which change over time), are an an essential part of our intuitiveness.

Here's another interesting one .. The Archer's Paradox (done a bit of this in my past, so I can confirm the validity of it from first hand experience ..)

In order to strike the center of the target, an the arrow shot from a bow, must be pointed slightly to the side of the target.

The stiffness of the arrow determines whether (or not) it clears the bow (without striking it on the way out).

Here's why … its like a lump of wet spaghetti … (I never tire of watching hi-speed video of this .. amazing !)

Cheers
