Eh? It's measured, but it can't measure? Hammo

You're the one who suggested the people should go out to their garage and perform the experiment for themselves with their cars. :) Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX

You still haven't cottoned on to intentions and what I was on about in the first place with that comment. C'mon Hammo, it's obvious if you think about it. Keep trying. Maybe I should have given you a smiley face to help you. -- Dale Porter GPX250 -> CBR600 -> VTR1000 + VT250F-J

You need blue paint at the back, and red paint at the front. Blue light has more energy than red, so the blue light reflecting backwards would push you forward faster than the red light reflecting from the front could push you back.
