| Feb 9 at 15:50 | comment | added | fishinear | I think that the main intuitive hurdle is that the distance to the cylinder becomes shorter. That is, the thread seems to be pulled through a distance. I think any answer would do good to explain why that is not physically the case. Simply claiming that is not the case does not suffice for me. | |
