defying gravity.

How does Bond catch up to the plane in Goldeneye when it and he, on the bike, fall from the mountain? All objects regardless of weight will fall at a maximum rate of 9.8Metres/second, so just how does bond fall faster than the plane to catch it?

why doubble? 🤨

anyway..i noticed that too. ✅
but you're wrong. 9.8m/s^2 (and not 9.8 m/s)
and it is acceleration and not speed.

but to answer the question at hand:
he isn't defying gravity.

In mountain-areas where he was, there are many gales, winds, ... that are all in a different angle and pace since they "bounce off" the mountainside, making that what Bond did in GE is possible: he got in a section where either wind was blowing down or there was none while the plane was in one where the wind was blowing up, slowing it down.

It is possible but very unlikely

He was following th plane and therefore in the same section.

And yes Clovie you are correct, but I do not have a litte 2 to make the squared symbol.

not neccesarily... it might be some blow of wind later.
plus.. plane is plane. and is supposed to fly..so it might have been falling slower. while Pierce has no wings yet 😛

still it's acceleration and not speed.

The planes engines were still running so sure that would have also been driving the plane to higher speeds?

😕 dunno...

bond has a smaller surface area, and is subject to less air resistance ✅ though the actual difference that would make is negligible until the plane reaches terminal velocity....

i understand the first sentecne. and i agree ✅ and could you translate the other one into polish or clovish or something?

that it shouldn't make a lot of difference

but as we know, dave is wrong in this ✅

why shouldn't for me it should. plane has wings and james doesn't. 😑

we know 😊

fight it out with dave ✅

damn straight!

why? 😛

I'm 😛

he claims it's wrong

I'm not a tongue but myself ✅

so we gotta wait for his defence on that one ✅

that's a good thing 😉

why? he's british

I hope so

so what? 😑

I know so kisses

they're always wrong

so lets close this one, Corran was wrong, I was so right 😎
