Even if it did, no way we can put any matter to rest, for all or for part. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Mr. Hankey claimed that the speed record was impossible because it would be a “pretty basic violation of Newtonian physics.”   Surely we have some math wizards here who can confirm or deny Mr. Hankey’s claim.  If it is a “pretty basic violation,” as Mr. Hankey says, it ought to be pretty easy to run the numbers.  Why do you say there is no way we can put the matter to rest?
