In reply to the discussion: Here is the problem with the 911 conspiracy theory's...... [View all]OnTheOtherHand
(7,621 posts)77. OK, let's think about this
he alleged that the head moved from one frame to the other due to the impact of the bullet....so the bullet must have made impact on 312 tp do that
on 312? What would that mean? If a frame captures an instant in time, then it would hardly be possible for the bullet to impact on a frame. It would impact between frames -- possibly much closer to the preceding frame than to the following frame, but not "on" either one.
That's the logical meaning of your own previous statement about frames 312 and 313, isn't it? You think you figured this out but Seger didn't? or what?
And here you're saying the same thing: that the bullet struck between frames 312 and 313, "maybe 1/100 of a second before the exposure" of 313. How on earth do you figure that there is enough time (whether "1/100 of a second" or whatever it might be) to produce a "cloud of material near the head" but not enough time to make the head itself move? What kind of physics is that? If you don't agree with Seger that the momentum transfer would be instantaneous, what is your reason?
But how can you say I did not refute Seger's claim....I just did it again and you will need to show me the math that refutes what I said....show me for instance a bullet traveling at 2500fps takes 1/18 of a second to traverse the scull for instance...which is the time between the two frames.
Who said that the bullet took 1/18 of a second to traverse the skull? That's a straw man.
But I do care...and that is why I insist on real and substantial evidence to prove the lone assassin theory...
Back here in real life, you didn't "insist on real and substantial evidence to prove the lone assassin theory" -- you said, in effect, that anyone who doesn't see what you think you see in the video is gutless. If you want to walk it back, that would be welcome, but I'm not just going to forget.

The cracking of the Enigma Code was not leaked until the 1970s after it was offiically announced.

This may be the most ridiculous thing I've read about the JFK assassination in some time.

it's kind of hilarious-- if a "conspiracy theorist" had presented this as proof he'd be laughed at.

Frame 313 is not an instant, it is a duration. And during that duration the head may have travelled

You mean like the 9/11 Commission conspiracy to not talk about Building 7 in their Report?

Leads that the "investigation" didn't follow; additional parties surely were involved.
