    Slower objects are more nimble. They don’t have to fight inertia.

    I can throw a rock at a moving car. It can swerve, but I can easily throw another and it can’t swerve again quickly.

      The car here is moving like 500km/h and it’s doing a zigzag in erratic pattern. Even if your rocks can change trajectory themselves mid flight they simply aren’t moving fast enough. Oh and you have to hit the car from 1km away.

        You live in a world where the sport of baseball is impossible. I find that a bit silly, but you do you.

        But please don’t start a career in defense or rocket science. You don’t seem suited for it.

        Your scales are way off, and you’re oversimplifying and call-of-dutyfying the laws of physics. Right now you’re arguing people about real life phenomenons by talking looney tunes. You’re flat out just wrong, and I’m not even going to try explaining why because you just ignore every single explanation anybody else have made for you.

        By the way, stop fanboying about a ballistic missile, it’s weird and honestly really cringe.

          This thread is earily similar to one where I recently had to explain to someone on the ebike subreddit why a bike going 35 mph won’t be fast enough to keep him from getting bitten by a dog if it wants to bite him. “No dog can run 35 mph” …“they don’t have to be faster, they just have to plot an intercept course” It’s not fucking complicated at all.
