If I've understood George Moffat correctly, someone *could* be catching up to you regardless of how well you imagine you're doing! This time of year, maybe even Rudolph and Santa... Bob W. |

Darryl A couple of things come to mind. Euler's equations Our world has three spatial dimensions (up-down, left-right, fore-aft) and one time dimension. In general, the Euler equations have a time- dependent continuity equation for conservation of mass and three time- dependent conservation of momentum equations. At the top of the figure, we show a simplified, two-dimensional, steady form of the Euler equations. There are two independent variables in the problem, the x and y coordinates of some domain. There are four dependent variables, the pressure p, density r, and two components of the velocity vector; the u component is in the x direction, and the v component is in the y direction. All of the dependent variables are functions of both x and y. The differential equations are therefore partial differential equations and not ordinary differential equations that you study in a beginning calculus class.

Darryl Darryl, Sadly, I am just confused. It was the glider in front of me shifting blue, not the sky. So he must have been pulling away from me, yes? |

So, in addition to red and blue shifts,
In relativistic terms, Time really does fly when I'm having fun! (to my perception) I.E. the faster I fly, My flight time appears to take longer (to an observer) than it seems to me! Merry Christmas!! Scott W. |
