Re: anti matter and dark matter
Hmm, I can't be reading that right. You seem to be saying that people who change their ideas as they come into contact with new data and new observations are not to be trusted as much as people who never, ever change their minds, no matter what.

Re: A "tangential" question
Hi, Dave.
A body travelling in a straight line will have a constant, non-zero angular momentum.
In physics, angular momentum is defined to be the cross product of the position vector of the body from the origin of the coordinate system with its momentum vector. As the body travels forever, its momentum (in the absense of any forces) will remain constant; its distance will increase, but the angle between the position vector and the momentum vector will decrease, which will compensate in such a way that will keep the angular momentum constant.

Re: A "tangential" question
Huh. I never thought of looking at it like that, but it seems to work. Interesting idea, Dave.
