Jay Helfert played at the pool room where the 526 happened and said the pockets were not easy. It also was done using a triangle rack. Also, it was done in early Spring in Ohio and anyone that knows Ohio weather knows this is not a good time to be playing pool. Moreover, I looked up the...

I've been told he always had a very bad case of diabetes and his unpredicable blood sugar was the reason why he was known to 'dog it' and probably why he never won a major championship. As someone with unpredictable blood sugar (but not diabetes) I can understand how much of a handicap this is...

It depends upon the simulation. I don't think anything proposed so far would require any special computer to simulate.

I don't think its frictionless cloth as much as being able to change the speed of the cloth with a dial. Frictionless cloth would eliminate swerve, and with backhand english deflection could be totally eliminated. It would definitely make aiming sidespin easier. Of course every cueball...

Lol. The cost is going to be heavenly and if it ever thaws out you are screwed Not to mention any electronics placed on it will be fried. People with pacemakers and people with metal plates and screwed also wont be able to play. I like the idea though. I could see you were going in this...

You obviously haven't been around academia long enough where 'useless' studies and experiments are pretty much the norm. I point you to: Useless Research

I want to add that static magnets will rack great but the balls really need electromagnets that are automatically disabled upon sensing an impulse for real playability.

I have a BSC and MSC in CS so I am not a student anymore. After reading about scalar fields for a minute wouldn't the larrson cue be more of a vector field when you hit something other than pure centerball with the poles of the cue and cueball aligned in parallel, and when you hit center ball...

I think a bad night of sleep or something to that effect probably got them.

I just thought about this topic a little bit more. As I said before I don't take this stuff very seriously so dont go off on me about this. But here is my idea to make justins magnetic balls, which I do think might be possible, but just are not practical. First there needs to be an energy...

So the guy who constantly says mathematical jargon but has never posted anything mathematical wants some math? I was responding to your infinitely long pool shot crap you pulled out of thin air. Ok, here is some worthless math to go along with your worthless question. Neglecting all external...

I have a good understanding of classical physics both theoretically and mathematically. Are you mistaking me for justin? I am not him. I was just answering his pointless question. I do not endorse any of this crap he is pushing here because its obviously all unfeasible; or impossible to...

Frictionless in a true vaccum void of all light and radiation on a perfectly level surface, probably need to change laws of quantum mechanics as well too but I dont know those very well. Perfectly round balls too with center of gravity perfectly in the center. Oh yea also needs to take place...

The problem with charging the balls as you are suggesting is it requires a very high voltage and high current electrical source that can kill instantly if touched to be applied to each ball before every break. Its just not safe enough to be feasible.

The magnetic field of planet earth is The magnetic field of planet earth is nowhere near strong enough to hold a ball down or else the balls could just be modified and no table mods needed. I personally would not not want to exposed to a relatively strong magnet field over and over again just...

Another problem with the maxwell method is the FCC is not going to be happy that you are effectively spraying the RF spectrum with strong and random interference since the currents are going to have to be pretty high to affect the movement of a ball and they are going to have to be very dynamic...

The biggest problem I see with the magnetic lock method is it requires a new ball to be developed. It also requires modification to the tables. Depth mapping requires neither of these. Another problem I see which was already mentioned is the affect it would have on electronic devices and also...

Actually after thinking about this for a bit I think this idea does have some merit just not in the current form. There would be a camera hung over the table with AI software attached. If it detects someone is tapping a ball in the rack area it could either: 1. shock them. 2. cause an EMP...

Re-read my reply i edited and added another, new and proposed system.

Bad news: Peoples digital/smart watches and phones are going to get fried by using this system. Its also going to be an electrical shock hazard to get the forces you want. How about just have slower felt and a heated bed to ensure its dry and slides/rolls okay in less than ideal environments...
