Halley did the same thing after he mapped and calculated the comet trajectory good for thousands of years and he's pretty sure the Earth is a sphere so I'll go with that.



Gotcha. :lol:

You should stop using the dictionary definitions for words .
:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

But at least your obstinance is consistently very cringe worthy, I'm sure this will serve you well in life.

If i said go three meters forward then one meter left
I've been giving you directions to follow
But i've lead you to a point

See the difference?


No you've given me instruction to a point - I haven't moved yet - see the difference? I think you're assuming the implied movement because you think people will obey your instructions.
The point and the movement are separate things.

Vector isn't movement either lol! you need speed for that


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector

has links to describing how vector can be used in about 40 different ways - I like your focus on just one while disregarding the others, it's a rather common mistake. In Biology, a Binary Vector can be used to show insertion of DNA from another organism. Does the fact that this definition exist preclude it use to show movement, hardly. It's basic saying the same thing - dna has been MOVED from one plant to another.

In mathematics and physics (the topic at hand) a vector is a tensor of order 1; a 1 dimensional array of components in some basis.

Next your going to be telling us the work-energy theorem is wrong because "work" is a place of employment, citing the dictionary as evidence.

The math definition for something does not preclude the use of the word in 40 other ways, you really need to stop assuming things and embarrassing yourself.
Like telling other to people to stop using the Dictionary, classic.

It does when you are discussing physics and mathematics.

The nature of reality is not limited to just a single set of equations.

Who said anything about equations? Or wait, you are just trying to change the subject again...

Make or buy a telescope ( very high mag), point it at the moon, see the footprints, left by the astronauts.
It's a minor point, but you can't actually do that.
