Hi Stephen P. King There are no accidents in Platonia. There are also perfect parabolas, because Platonia is the realm of necessary logic, of pure reason and math, which are inextended.
Thrown earthly objects are extended and thus fly contingently, since spin, humidity and dust particles can create flight imperfections and no measurements of their flights can be perfect. I am also told that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle does not depend on scale.
