A Dream.

Yes, I’m not making this dream up.  I had a dream last night involving six people.  Five of them had an umbrella and the sixth…the sixth was in a duck suit, yes, a duck suit.  They were arranged in a pentagon where the duck-suit wearer was in the lower right hand corner and the sixth was in the center.  Then, they took a step outward (all except the duck-suit) such that the duck-suit wearer was in the center and they formed a larger pentagon and then took a step back forming a new tight formed pentagon.

My mission in the dream, to write a system of equations giving their relative position at any time T assuming abstract measurements (ie. the radial of the pentagram was one and each step had a time of one with no concepts of acceleration or inertia).

Why was there someone dressed in a duck suit?  I also posed my Hubble’s Law problem that I don’t get and no professor I’ve ever had has been able to explain to me why it isn’t true.

Anyway, it was a rather strange dream that I thought I’d share.
