Ramon F. Herrera Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Greg: Kindly forward this to Dr. David Mantik. This one of the entries in a contest that I am sponsoring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulSv3M7dHO8&feature=youtu.be (I suspect that I will award the bid to them) The plan is to go all the way from a crude JPEG to the most realistic simulation of reality possible. Warrenistas will be welcome to present their hypotheses. The truth will prevail. Thanks, -Ramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon F. Herrera Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) The following is a post of mine from years ago, in the Physics newsgroup: =========================================== From: Ramon F Herrera Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2013 11:26:52 -0600 Subject: How does a projectile behave inside (and out) of a human head? I am sure I don't have to tell you to whose head I am referring.Naive debaters contend that the entering projectile can blast the victim away. This was debunked by the MythBusters folks in Discovery Channel.http://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/Rotated+Bone-Disk.pnghttp://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/Disk+GlueThis is my hypothesis, in slow motion, as it were: (1) The *pointy* bullet enters the forehead causing little damage, the small orifice cannot possibly move an adult, much less reverse his forward movement. (2) The cerebral mass accumulates a lot of energy which starts to push the back of the head. This is the principle upon bombs are based: increasing accumulation and sudden release of energy. (3) Meanwhile, the bullet -who is in a real rush, having other businesses to attend (such as being many yards behind the limo, even buried in the pavement at this point) leaves the scene of the crime. The bullet exited through a tiny hole (or was pulverized?), but left a heck of a mess behind. (4) Eventually the accumulated and compressed brain matter pushes so hard that a disk (to simplify the math) of occipital bone cannot possibly stay in place and bolts in a backwards motion, in the exact same direction as the projectile. (5) It was this disk and its "glue" which *PULLED* (not pushed!) the body of a grown up, "back and to the left". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MLc0udf_74That model should be simple enough, but it captures the essence.Can a qualified poster please continue?

Greg Burnham Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ramon, David doesn't often read forums or news groups at all. The only real exception is mine as he is a founding member there. However, if you would post this same topic on my forum, I can send him that link when he gets back from Ireland. It will stand a better chance of getting his attention and a response there than here. (No offense to this forum. However, there is a very limited amount of time that he can devote to forums as it is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been repaired. -Ramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
