Precognitive shadow?

[dumbest man on earth]

Sarkus, you present a compelling perspective that cannot be ruled out. To me though, there is just something "hinkey" about the Photo.

p.s. - check math : if 0.1 seconds = 1.4 meters, then wouldn't 0.4 seconds = 5.6 meters ?

Again, depends where in the throwing motion the picture was taken, and the shutter speed.
This suggests 14m/s as the average speed of a thrown Frisbee
Wiki suggests the average blink is 100-400 milliseconds, so 0.1-0.4 seconds, suggesting a thrown Frisbee could have flown 1.4 to 4.2 metres in the "blink of an eye".
If this was a single image from a video, the shutter would be working typically at 30fps, so 1/30th sec, so you're looking at 40-50cm travel distance of a thrown Frisbee.

Very minor hiccup, in an otherwise well considered, and presented, position.

I'm just curious how the first question asked was actually, "Is this a precognitive shadow?" How the blue hell is that the first thing that comes to mind?

Wish-thinking, I guess.

Hey, Balerion, anthropomorphizing a camera to endow it with cognitive, or precognitive ability, is minor compared to some of the behavior that is accepted, nay, seemingly condoned on this Forum!

Lol!
Yes, your maths is correct. I actually put the human blink at up to 0.3 seconds, hence the 4.2m used, but then changed it to 0.4 seconds when I saw what wiki had to offer, without then changing the 4.2 to 5.6m.

Ah, the joys of only partially editing things.

Grok'd!
