Indeed. A rifle has to push the entire universe backward.
A rocket only needs to push a bit of exhaust gas backward.

No... it is because the rifle doesn't have to push the universe back
quite so far. :o)

OK Fair enuff! :-)

I learned a new term today:
*Word salad*
I'm not deciphering any more of your Star Wars sripts 'till ya get clean on
these metaphysical clocks fast-moving slow-aging pet rocks. ;-)

If you can't explain it in 3 + 1 D then it is only in your mind.
