Erratum

It has been pointed out to me (In a mildly rude comment, which you can see in the comments section to the previous post) that my calculation in the previous post is incorrect. The final velocity predicted by Autodynamics should in fact be 14.3km/h.

I'm allways willing to point out where I have gone wrong, I won't be correcting the original post or removing the comment as I don't think that would be ethical.

So does this change anything? Well no, no at all, autodynamics still cannot reproduce one of the most basic observations in science. I ask again what good a theory is if it cannot reproduce the behaviour of phenomena in the actual Universe, after all thats the whole point of having a theory.

As I don't believe that I will get a more useful response to the question of why Autodynamics can't handle simple dynamics, I'll move onto some of the other amusing contradictions of Autodynamics in my next post.

    Labels like "ADiots" are rude; pointing out that you are comparing a dynamics equation to a kinematics equation is simply a fact. And truly, it is silly.
    Unfortunately for you, you'll have to add another correction. If you had paid closer attention to my last comment, you would have realized that AD does not predict the final velocity to be 14 km/hr. That is simply the number you get when you plug those two velocities into the AD velocity sum equation. (Garbage in = garbage out.)
    Please, explain to your readers (if there are any), how your example makes use of dynamics, which (by your assertion) AD has failed to describe accurately, because I see nothing but a kinematics comparison of the velocities of unrelated bodies.
    Why are you so quick to move on to other topics, when you haven't even understood the first?
    Is this how you studied at university?
