Indeed, and nowadays part of every college-bound high-schooler's basic
education.  You must have missed high school.

If it's been checked, than you should have no fear of letting us see the core
calculations here.  But I can tell you're already quaking in your boots.  

Ladies and gentleman, Emporer Earl has no clothes!  A so-called expert who
won't or can't even support his work and claims in a public forum.  A so called
expert who gets all in a lather when others question his reasoning,
methodology, or data;  an "expert" who resorts to name calling and ridicule
against any opponent who doesn't take his claims and dogmatic opinions as fact.

You, Earl, are most certainly not a scientist, student of physics, an
intellectual, or even a professional.  Frankly, at this point I'd be pretty
surprised if you were actually a cop, let alone an "investigator."  If you are,
the intellectual bar must be awfully low in the fine state of Oklahoma.

A challange?  Can't you read?  I will restate the point here in a more clear
fashion, so even you can get it:  Anybody can write a "program" that alleges to
perform a certain function.  That doesn't mean that it truly does as
advertised.  Excellent and obviously correct source code would strongly
buttress your claims to having some concept of physics, but you go limp at the
mere thought of exposing the rusty clockwork of your mind to such inspection.
This is almost too amusing for words!  :)

Incompetent, this coming from a creaky old dodder in America's wasteland who's
life's big accomplishment is (or so it is claimed) the authorship of a toy
GwBasic program (later ported to C -- oooh, ahhh!).  ROTFL. !

Ladies and gentleman of the jury...this fine fellow is a laughingstock.  Too
bad, as we've had some good debate on the topic of speed and it would have been
very illuminating to have had a real cop and investigator in on the
conversation.  Oh well, perhaps one will join in eventually.

Cheers,
Eric
