Gave us:

snooker then. the whit ball is substantially smaller than the others,
"and yet it moves" (to paraphrase gallileo)


Substantially?

No. Try 2" cue ball or "white ball" and 1.875" object balls.

Again, you dopes are moving toward the striking object being bigger
than the struck object, which is NOT the case in this debate.

Be less dopey, and get back on track with some scenarios that
approach the debated case.

Like the .22 hitting the bowling ball.


OK, a .22 long rifle hitting a bowling ball. What velocity will it
impart to the ball? To make it simple, assume the ball slides, not
rolls.
