    It's not an asisinine question to try to understand a physical action in terms of physics.

    If you feel this way, why do you even read my threads?

    You appear to have no understanding of a five year old child's developmental milestones and do not notice the irony of the fact you are asking people to explain it as such when it's beyond a five year old's capability to comprehend.

    I have no choice. You put your replies on the threads I want to read. But you only have to read the titles of my threads. You don't have to click on them to read them in their entirety.

    If it's so simple an issue that it's asinine to ask about something so obvious, then it's simple enough for a five year old to understand it.

    Alex Trubek: This commonly causes trailer doors to not closed on sloped ground.

    Contestant: What is gravity?

    Since this thread is thirteen pages long, and chocked full of correct explanations, could you explain to us why the doors won't close yet? In your own words.
