RBF DEFINITIONS
Acceleration: Angular & Linear:

"Physics does not speak of motion; it speaks of acceleration.
And physics has identified only two kinds of acceleration--
linear acceleration and angular acceleration. We are informed
experienctially that this is a misinterpretation of the data.

"There are indeed two kinds of acceleration but they are both
angular. All accelerations are angular and cyclically complete.
There are no open endings in Universe. Physics has discovered
only waves and no straight lines.

"The angular accelerations, however, manifest a vast variety
of radii. The differentiation of physics into linear and
angular occurred when the humans involved failed to realize
the the diameter of the little circle is always a small arc
of a vastly greater circle passing through it. The greater
the radius the slower the total cyclic realization. There
are no straight lines or 'linear infinities.' Realization of
this is what Einstein spoke of as 'curved space.' "
