Hey, you guys should know that brokenball is extremely well respected in his field. [emoji2]
Yes, thanks USDC. My picture was posted on a Chinese forum for a week for being inducted into an international hall of fame. I think I am the only foreigner ( 外国人, my best transition is external country person) that is a moderator in China. I must admit my moderation abilities are extremely limited but I can make suggestions to the site moderator and they are generally implemented. I am internationally known in my field.
Zeio, I am more famous in China than you are but it is probably good not to attract too much attention these days while in Hong Kong.
You guys have no idea what you have squandered.
I tried explain dwell time and how it can be extended years ago but I got banned for calling someone stupid. Someone claiming to be a school teacher in the UK was claiming that acceleration doesn't cause force. That person never has sit driven a Tesla and accelerated it so hard that he was FORCED back into the chair. I feel sorry for his students.
My company is helping others in the UK with projects. One is a huge grinding arm. This project was botched. If they asked me first I could have done the calculations in a few hours. One is testing for a new train system in the UK. I suggested a change that made a huge increase in the frequency of how they can vibrate the train. Another project was 'Fast and Furious 9' that is being film in studios near or in London. Our controllers are controlling 2 six degree of freedom platforms on which cars will be places. I have seen some of the early video and how it is made but the film probably won't be released until the CCP-virus is under control. The built some amazing rigs for this video.
I/we have a huge problem. People like me are going to retire. It is possible that a small group of well trained people could answer the engineer problems from around the world. I do that now but I wan't to retire.
Meanwhile everyone has opinions on which stroke, rubber, or blade is better and you don't see the big picture.
Are you guys going to be making a big deal about the next rubber 5 years from now even though the COR doesn't change much from the previous 4 generations? Are you still going to believe the same TT myths?
There are much bigger issues today. Who is going to keep the lights on? Have you ever wondered how the very thin layer of wood that covers your blade is made? Do you guys know what rotomodling is? How do you think seamless balls are made. I know.
You are in the wrong department and you are overextending your importance. You are useful in production and manufacturing aspects of table tennis, that is if you can apply your theories and make good equipment but not in coaching table tennis. I am still asking you a science guy to please show us laymen who do not know physics like you players you taught physics who are actuvely using them and have become competitive players. You have been grbling about these things for years and yet we have to see practical applications and RESULTS.
