@hamishtodd1 If you think Newtonian physics is a "reasonable simplification" for considering wormholes, I declare this conversation over.
@hamishtodd1 Yes you do - if the acceleration is g, velocity is tg and position is t^2g. You learn it in grade school physics.

@cmuratori@hamishtodd1 That's where the parabola comes from. It's why (Newtonian) gravitational arcs are parabolas not, say, cubics. -
@cmuratori Well thank you for reminding me, because I had forgotten, I was just having fun thinking about how the curve I saw...
