:-k Ancient thought provokers

If an arrow is fired upwards it will: Fly upwards, its angle will lessen and then it will turn and fall back to the ground, making an arc. If you consider the arrow if differnet stages as a frozen moment in time, the arrow has different positions relative to the ground. For example, it pionts upwards , then points horizontal as it peaks its flight, and point downwads as it falls back down. The question is, how does it move from each frozen moment of time? If you consider the fact time can be seen as a series of events in succesion, how does it move between events?

I like it

Time isn't constant though, it can be bent by gravity. Time is also relative to the observer.

My brain hurts now

I have to admit to being fascinated by this subject :-P
