Core Physics

“Don’t throw your apple core out the window, Alex; if it hits someone at this speed, it might injure them.”

“That’s not actually true, Mum.”

“Yes, it is; we are going eighty -- ”

“Seventy-seven, actually.”

“-- don’t interrupt me, so everything inside the car is going that speed."

“It will slow before it reaches them from the wind and gravity.”

“It will still hurt.”

“And a core’s mass will slow down quicker than if it was a solid.”

“But still, it will be nearly as fast.”

“You are wrong, it’s physics.”

“When did you start disagreeing with me, Alex?”
