I understand your point perfectly. . but it is based on an invalid foundation .. ie yiouir totally incorrect analogy Now .. would you like me to explain to you how the MMX works via a valid and relevant analogy, so you can see and correct the glaring mistake in the foundation of your argument?

I was shooting for something much cheaper. I'm thinking I can do it with a six foot pole that rotates via a small motor. One end of the pole would have a speaker on it. The speaker would be driven by a tone generator, and turned on by a photo cell. To measure the velocity of sound, one would need two microphones and a laptop. Assuming I use the mics and laptops and so forth that I already have, I think I can do it for a few hundred dollars. It will probably take a few weeks to finish. Marshall

Anyone who has watched a car race from the stands does this experiment. This means that there are hundreds of thousands of spectator/experimenters every year. Is this not standard? |
