After marvelling at the setting sun over Exmoor, my mind wandered to all things cosmic.....
Is time travel possible?
at 10 mph you can easily spit well clear of your front wheel. at 20 mph, this requires more force at 30 mph you need to be careful not to end up with a face full !
Question : at 40 mph or over, do you end up with a face / mouth full before you've actually ejected said spit? In which case, is this time travel enough to warn you that you're travelling at a ridiculous speed and should slow down......

clue 1: turn head some where between 45 and 90 degrees to either side of the front before ejecting fluid.
clue 2: save the fluid - it'll help keep you hydrated.

i favour the under-the-arm method, better at all speeds
DNC; you've missed the point. I was hoping to promote some discussion.... this is a thought experiment a la Schrodinger and his cat. except here no cat's die !!

Why don't you get a normal cycle computer like everyone else. :-) -- Mark I got something special built for me and it arrived broken. :-(

if your at 40 mph speed up- push yourself!
hers the answer though- of course you wont get a face full before youve spat, because the initial spitting force has to be enough to make it leave the mouth, otherwise itl stay in there, and as it initially travles it will be going quicker than you, then it will slow down as no further forces are acting upon it (except gravity but that will pull it down and of course air resistance which will slow it down) youll start to catch up with the spit until splat, of course the only way to get a face full would be to spit at an angle above that of the straight line spit so unless your ttrying to get a face full of spit it aint gonna happen!

If you spit hard enough will you travel backwards? -- If ingnorance is bliss then I am the erm er luckiest thingy in the whatchamacallit. To mail me, change the obvious bit to richard
