The time has come to post some real material to this site—a simple exploration of physics that will (hopefully) build audience interest and help me learn techniques of generating math-laden web content. After spending the last couple of days mulling over which one of my little projects would be the first one I share, the answer came to me late last night in the form of a text message from a friend:
