Of course he can flee the empirical imperative! Indeed, it would be sinful for him to look through that telescope. (Yes, Jed, I know that's apocryphal but think of it as a movie everyone saw that provides a mythic vocabulary for narrative.) On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 1:19 PM,

Why can't you carefully explain in a simplified way what mistakes that we are making. Are we beyond all hopes of redemption? The magnitude of it... just is not enough for us to understand the error of our ways. Please before you go, just explain this phrase to me. On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 2:18

The kind of numeric simulation you describe almost certainly is not conserving energy due to the failure to appropriately handle close perigees with tiny time increments in the numeric approximation. That's the main reason why these things produce high speed projectiles. On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at
