   Perhaps the other half-brain is the one which paid some
attention in its physics class.  Instantaneous anything can
be tough to obtain with finite resources.  Or is your claim
that the rotor here has no mass (moment of inertia, actually,
so perhaps it's the radius which is zero, not the mass).

   And the commentary hilarious.
