The Four Possible Transportation Modes--No Others

WED-2019-002-03watch-00Bell

As there is no celbration of carnal fuit this day here,

I will discourse as follows:

Trans-Port is from an Origin to a Destination, simply put.

Transportation is means.

So, four Modes or means exist.

Did ya know that?

Only four. The fifth echoes the first; the sixth echoes the second, etc. See Young's Geometry of Meaning on kinematics.

Examples:

Firstly, Pedestrian travel is of such a nature that continuous effort, that is to say, power input, as well as control, is required for the Destination to be eventually reached.

Secondly, by , e.g. thowing a rock at a bird, we may enter the realm of Velocity based Transportation: a body in motion will as Destined thereto proceed. Conservation laws apply for momentum and for energy.

Thirdly, do please consider our acheivements in Rocketry: the fundament of Orbital Dynamics is the delicate interplay between Energy and Acceleration. Impulse is fundamental and limiting.

Fourthly, we now use mathatics as propulsion. You didn't know?

The gravity assist maneuver you ave seen in your flicks. It is real. Probes use it everyday.

In this realm not limited to that method, consider then, all opportunities for control based transportation including without limitation informed use of transit servies, through and including gravity assit, and going beyond in a moment. The Queen of known Science. So Queen's Carraige, LLC, rightly. Go ahead and form that, some body-- I have no time. I don't do that sort of thing. My roses will grow post mortem the mulch of citations yo are reading now.

As promised: Bolo.

Three space craft approach a much larger body enroute. They array to an equilateral triangle with tehers to a central piton explosiveley fixed at transit into that asteroid or bpdy.

Do you see it yet? By winching the tethers at nearly no energy cost, the craft command, coordinate, and control the other wise inevitable (presupposing equilateralitity to precision) impact at their crossing, avoiding by the minimumum. This destablizises the system a tiny tiny bit. The body absorbs most of that. Our side, again, they cross in co-protection. What Happens? As tethers wind from 100 to 1, Speeds grow from 1 to -- Believe IT -- 10,000, AllWithout Fuel! Energies grow to 100,000,000.

The Aim Point is maintained.

Clip! You can't do this to a cow. Not to a bull nor a bird. The the Brazilians would make fine engineers for this one. Caballeros!

Snip those tehers rightly and whacko bango the craft are to lightspeed nearly.

Good Day

Enjoy Today's Commute!
