Straight lines

Thursday, October 3, 2024 at 3:20 PM

A few months ago, I noticed that the forces and movements currently described as a set of straight lines can also be described as a set of orbits.

If someone throws a ball, it can be described as (at least) two lines : one forward and one towards the ground.

But it could also be described as an orbit around the earth with slight orbital influence from nearby and less nearby objects (other balls and the moon for example).
