I will now explain how objects move freely, in the context of strong
anticipation theory.

Oh, joy; I can't wait.

Supposing there is this comet, and we might measure it's mass and
velocity, and so predict by that the way it goes.

OK...

But the thing is that in measuring such a thing as velocity it is
known to be true that it is not possible to measure position and
velocity at the same time. One can either get velocity information to
precision, or position information, but one can't get both velocity
and position at the same time, as is known by the uncertainty
principle.

Except that this only really applies to particles with mass
considerably less than that of the average comet (or even,
for that matter, the non-average comet). The position and
velocity of anything macroscopic can be accurately measured
to any arbitrary level of precision within the capabilities
of the instrumentation we have available.

With every post you further demonstrate your ignorance.
