A wasp was flying along at 10 mph when........

I disagree with the philosophers (as per Wikipedia!), who think it a clever riddle but Sillious Sodus, #54, has explained it perfectly. Which is why philosophers are a waste of space, e.g. Marx, Engels!

PS I hated physics, even though it’s not rocket science.

This also explains why Witless and Unbalanced have no empathy with all the people struggling with the long term effects of lockdown. They are theorists, only interested in milking their “fifteen minutes of fame”!And their theories are wrong.

Start Pedant Mode: Did you perhaps mean 'momentum'? Inertia is more resistance to moving.

You are correct sir.

if you get a flat tyre, why is it only at the bottom of the wheel?

 

[Grumpyfrog]

Not if you turn it!

I've gone brain dead. . I love stuff like this. You lot are so clever.. but I lie awake at night trying to work it out!!!

Like you movan, I admire all these clever people.
Late at night, thinking about it, I take comfort from realising I'll never be a wasp flying at 10m.p.h. or any speed meeting a train coming in the opposite direction at 60m.p.h. or any speed. One takes one's comforts where one can.

Ah but. How do you know that all our universe is only but a few molecules in another larger and greater universe that just happen to be in a wasp that is just about to collide with a train.?

It's sad that Joy movan and your good self feel this way. Nothing clever about those posting in this thread per se, just different experiences and skills. In return, I admire and envy the wonderful musicians and singers we have on Fun. Each to their own.
The strength of Fun is in people's willingness to share and in combining those differences. As our French cousins would say, "Vive la difference".

If tree falls in the woods and no one was around ........???

If a man's wife is not around is he still in the wrong?

Jeez, that at least explains why it's so dark in here. Just my luck I got the wasp's colon, I guess. Still it could be worse. I could be Piers Morgan or Jeremy Clarkson trapped inside a wasp hurtling towards an approaching train. As I say; count one's blessings.
