Spaceman

When Spaceman is instructed to take the shortest possible route
from city A to city B, Spaceman does not move. He knows that
the shortest way is through a tunnel in a "straight line", and he
knows there is no such tunnel, so he stays where he is.
If you tell him that you mean the "shortest possible route without
tunneling" or the "shortest possible route along the surface of
the planet", then Spaceman says: "Impossible, there is no
tunnel!". Then you ask "but don't you understand what I mean?".
Then Spaceman says "you don't understand what you ask, since
there is no tunnel!".
There goes Dirk again, making up stories.from city A to city B, Spaceman does not move. He knows that
the shortest way is through a tunnel in a "straight line", and he
knows there is no such tunnel, so he stays where he is.

there is no tunnel!".
I said clearly the shortest travelable path may not be straight.
But of course, Dirk will twist that simple factual statement into
something I did not say.
Poor Dirk,
He can not tell the difference between shortest "distance"
and shortest travelable path.
I supposed he needs to make up as much bullshit as he can
since once you support one lie, you must make some new ones
to keep the con man game going.
Question: Why not ask what is North of the North Pole?
| If you have created an actual north.
| the things that are north of such are "floating above the
planet" |
| North,
| does not end just because a planets size stops.
|
| If you are 240 miles above the North Pole and 100 miles east..
| Do you head "down" to head further north?

Must be that problem he has with "out of the box" thinking.

The original problem was the transform fails for a 0 speed on
one side.
When an object is moving towards an object that is not moving
your silly transform will predict a different arrival time.
But you of course are too stupid and brainwashed to understand that.
