No. I am not plowing new ground. I am simply using words, and pictorial examples, to explain relevant Newtoniain laws that pertain to this issue of "centripetal acceleration" (as I understand those laws).

Although, nmgolfer labels me "clueless", I believe that all my posts are fully compatible with the Newtonian laws expressed in all those links.

That's why I am very comfortable with the idea of having him dissect my opinions as thoroughly as possible. It is interesting that nmgolfer is full of bluster about my "cluelessness", but doesn't offer a detailed argument explaining why my many posted explanations are inaccurate and incompatible with Newtonian laws.
