Default but when seen in a video game, it's programmed, so it's not really an explaination.
If I sound like a d*ck, I apologize. Having a terrible night.

Default I didn't cite a video game. I was referring to motion pictures, both film and digital.
Obviously in a video game it would be simulated unless they have a really fast graphics card. It can still happen, but it's a much different critter.

Default I grasped the concept but I think i'm gonna dig for some formulas..
I have physics book around here somewhere that I need to go through. I want to work out some formula's. This is becoming more interseting (official nerd when it comes to this)! I think physics is the only class I was interseted in.

Default On Tv/video if a car was rolling it would much easier to notice retrograde motion..
afa the wheels go.. whether that relevant or not.

Excellent point. I've witnessed this. It looks incredible, especially when driving to the city.
