oh, i'm afraid it's worse than that, ladies and gentlemen.

if you look closely, comparing frames 417 and 418, you can clearly make out the head of the statue of liberty, being snapped back, and to the left.

back, and to the left...

Joedirt,

Thanks for the link. From this page:
http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/microwaves/hotspots.html

It shows the hotspots generated from standing waves. My question is, shouldn't water molecules align to the positive peaks as well as the negative peaks? If yes, then there should be hotspots at LAMBDA/2 also.

Note that the chocolate bar is placed in the microwave at a diagonal. If the standing wave pattern is generated with front-to-back and right-to-left waves, then she measured peaks at a diagonal which would yield at an answer that is 1.4 times larger.

I understand now.

Regarding the "controversy" over whether this is legitimate or not: The obvious response video which I'm not talented enough to make is a loop cut between a slow-motion shot of the three seconds following impact and Kevin Costner in J.F.K.: "Back...and to the left..."

Anyway, one issue is that muzzle velocity is -almost- completely irrelevant, since it's impossible to know how much kinetic energy the round would bleed off by striking the target. (This assumes it was the round itself which came back - a reasonable assumption, given the whistle presumably resulting from a fin-shaped chunk of flattened lead.) One -could- potentially use muzzle velocity to dispute the veracity of the video based on the time between muzzle flash and *ping*, but I suspect that given the speed of sound one would find that the interval is consistent with a reasonable target distance and muzzle velocity.
A critical piece of more easily estimated evidence is the amount of time the object takes to traverse the distance between the ground puff and the headphones. One could possibly work backward from this velocity to determine whether or not timing of the event is reasonable.

Dag, I take back what I said. The comments I previously deleted are back (and/or never left) and I see another SifTalk about same problem. I thinks you gots gremlins in the comment/edit.php? stuff.

I did delete comments (profile) again and see if they take this time.

JFK's assassination is an important historical event. Mainly due to the US goverment stating that he got shot from the Texas Book Depository which would be a head shot to the back, and not back and to the left as shown in the Zapruder film. It was the start of the end of the first Roman Catholic President and Camelot as a whole.

His death lead to the swearing in of Lydon B. Johnson as president and almost immediate escalation of American involvement in South East Asia, based principally on the Gulf Of Tonkin incident. When JFK at the time was himself considering disengaging from pursuing a 'proxy war' with US troops against the Soviet Union and Communism in general.

Beyond the obvious questions of goverment involvement and knowledge of the assassination attempt, the strange circumstances of the event, the fact that the assassin clearly left a trail to be found, got assassinated two days later by Jack Ruby for unknown and unclear reasons. The basic fact remains that if JFK had lived our world would be vastly different then what it is now. Thus the videos posted form important historical artifacts.

Saddam Hussein, and the video that was posted was enough. We don't need to see him hanging. I would apply the same historical reverence to any execution video, as I do not believe executions are historic events. They are subjective to the people who suffered from the tyranny of others.

No it's possible with a bolt action rifle, only it's impossible from where Oswald was, it was covered over with trees. The second shot came from another angle, since JFK's head went back and to the left. It was a fire triangle.
