    Ah yes, I can see that. However there will be both a slowing of momentum from friction and curvature of the linear path due to gravity.

    For example, a projectile (arrows, bullets, artillery shells, etc.) will eventually slow down from atmospheric friction which allows gravity to alter the projectiles course. This arguement can also be used for light, since light waves can be altered by gravity (red shift) and be effected by interstellar dust or other celestial bodies that the light would have to pass through.
    How does cellophane affect the friction factor?

    Mark - I'd tend to think there would only be a nominal friction factor effect with the cello on. Sorry - it does not better define your "cello on / cello off" debate...

    6 pages nice. I'm glad I could post such a useful topic for many of other newbs to learn from that wasn't completely pointless! haha

    Pointless? I dunno, seems to be a lesson in here somewhere.

    Now, where would that be?

    My guess is probably the first page.

    I rotate my sticks - every time I'm looking for something to smoke.
