Bob who knows a bit

I'm retired . . . never really used my M.S. in Physics. My minor was computer science and the most I did with that was work for McDonnell Douglas on the computer controlled test set for the cruse missile. We worked in FORTRAN - yes, I'm that old. I was born before the U. S. A. went to fight in WWII. I must admit that since I retired several decades ago, most of that knowledge has faded from non-use. Now, if I have a physics or computer question, I use Google Search instead of getting out my old textbooks.
So why did I "sign up" for Physics Forums? One of my hobbies is giving presentations and participating in panels at the annual science fiction convention that is held at a complex that is walking distance from my home. I have a JPG (attached) that I've used before in a few of my talks and did a Google Search looking for an update.
That search led me to https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-explains-the-luna-impact-gap.965211/
I had to post a reply . . . "use Occam's Razor". The significant central gap and cutoff of impacts at specific north and south latitudes is an artifact of the observing process.
I expect to receive email notices from Physics Forums when there are replies to this posting and the "gap" posting . . . looking forward to it, actually.
