Kicking the ball


One could use a plugin or software to calculate the position of a ball with respect to time. Using equations of motion, mechanics, gravity equations, many computers operating to calculate all this complexity of boundary conditions, obstacles, impedance mismatching therefore reflection, conservation of momentum, of energy, increase of entropy...


Yet, it is much simpler to just go out on the street and kick the ball and see what it does in real time or real life. And play.


This is an analog computer operating at nearly the speed of light. Consuming the least amount of energy.


Just some chemical energy from a human or a cat hitting the ball while playing.


And the ball knows what to do.
