It's called scaling dumbfuck.

But here goes.

The DS1 is such and such size, you scale this to Yavin(through pictures, some people here can even provide size to an incredible degree), then you account for the the time the fighters take to reach around said object.

Thus you have

Distance

AND

Time


Then LO!

You can acquire Acceleration just like any half wit high schooler.
You needn't flame him like that since he conceded and asked how you guys did it.

Immediately after posting that "concession", he posted another thread (since moved to HOS) where he said that he presented incontrovertible evidence and we were too damned stubborn to concede. He's just realized that he's in over his head the moment that anything involving numbers or physics is mentioned, so he tried to bow out of this thread without making more of an ass out of himself. I suspect he's maybe 12 years old.

The movies, screenshots from the movies, descriptions from novels, and basic physics. Unfortunately it appears you're too fucking stupid to understand basic physics among other things.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P
