Drew Phipps Wrote:What I am suggesting is, if the bullet passed thru the head from front to back and exited to the back, it carried away some of its kinetic energy, and could not have transferred 100% of its momentum to the head. The motion of the head backward contains more energy than can be added by one bullet (even at 100%).
For the head to move backward so fast, something else must also have occurred.
There is an easy way to explain how what we see for movement in the Zapruder is physically impossible. You can start with Ken Rahn's mathematical analysis of the JFK movements seen in the Zapruder film. I have pointed out previously that Ken made one huge assumption:
Assumes that the Z-film is genuine
Obviously, this work assumes that the Zapruder film is genuine. It is ludicrous to think that it is anything else. Thompson has effectively destroyed the myth of alteration in a brilliant essay that is posted here.
And here is one of his problems:
Low mass of head
There may be a conflict between the lighter heads that these calculations support (57 lb) and the classical heads that are usually quoted (more like 10 lb, or even 15). Does this mean there is something wrong with these calculations? Not necessarily
http://www.kenrahn.com/JFK/Scientific_topics/Physics_of_head_shot/38-Objections.html
So Ken with his in depth mathematical review of the movements we see in the Zapruder film finds that for those movements to be possible that JFK's head must be lighter than any classical heads!!!!!!!!!
To resolve this problem, Ken does what Vince Bugliosi and many others do when faced with explaining a conflict with the big lie, he proposes a ridiculous assumption to fix the problem, JFK's head must be lighter than what the literature shows a normal head weighs. Yea, that's it, JFK's head was lighter than everyone else's! If you wade through this mess, Ken goes on to state that the shot from behind is possible with what we see in the Zapruder film but it is not possible that he was shot from the front.! See, the US government was right after all even though he had to make the ridiculous assumption that JFK's head weighed about one half of what we would expect it to weigh classically. Wake up. JFK's head did not weigh only 5-7 pounds!
And then the JFK crowd quotes Ken as saying that the shot works from behind but it is impossible the shot was fired from in front.
In other words, Ken showed JFK's head movement we see in the Z film proves the Zapruder film is forged because it had to assume JFK's head had to be lighter than possible. Duhhhhhhhhh!
