What a load of unworthy self-congratulatory and backslapping posts by CG and STUD, trying to hide their ignorance(s).

But what do men, who never listen, know about soundwaves when they cannot even hear anyone speak above the noise of their own voices ...

Well, we know that you can still be heard when you travel faster than he speed of sound!

Since all your scientific sources stem from watching "Alien" - maybe I'll just finish you off in space ... where no one can hear you scream!

Even better, you won't be able to hear me laugh either!

Still trying to come to terms with him going faster than the speed of sound and his microphone not catching what he was saying because he was travelling beyond Mach I. Amazing!

Inspired by one of his (many) slip-ups ...

It also meant that he had no control over his attitude and could not remain stable as he could lower down...

Well, that is another of your many slip-ups!

Because he couldn't control his attitude in a vacuum - no wind resistance you see...? That is why he tumbled...

It was only when the atmosphere became more dense (rather like you) that he could use wind resistance to control his position and become 'stable' - like a normal skydiver...

In fact, his suit was fitted with a special 'chute' that would have deployed if he was spinning too much and lost conciousness...

Skydiving happens to be one of my many areas of expertise...

As I said in an earlier post - perhaps you should just stop replying to this thread and save yourself further embarrassment....?

You do make me laugh though!

You've done it again!

Well, you'd better learn to tell the difference between altitude and attitude otherwise gravity will only get your mood down.

Oh I seeee!

You have confused the meanings of altitude and attitude!

That comes from your nasty habit of part quoting and a desperate attempt to cover your embarrassing inability to understand the concept of the speed of souund!

Here. at·ti·tude 1. A position of the body or manner of carrying oneself:

As I correctly said, he couldn't control his attitude because there is no wind resistance in a vacuum to enable him to do so... As an experienced skydiver I know that without the correct attitude - even at lower altitudes - you can tumble out of control...

I also (with hindsight) correctly stated that you should refrain from replying to this thread and save yourself further embarrassment..

Sadly, you have ignored my advice and just embarrassed yourself even further...

Have you room in your mouth for another foot...? If so, please keep going...

Can we correct something that was said by someone above please...

The speed of light (like the speed of sound) is only constant in a specified medium; usually it's expressed as the speed in a vacuum but its speed will be slower in something like water, a lens or a prism. The principle of Refraction depends on this change in speed.

You are of course correct!

I fear that noise you just heard was GIG's head exploding!

Ok that’s it!

Everyone will have to watch a rerun of Aliens tonight!

Attitude also refers to changes in flight angles relative to the horizon.
