Cars travelling on interstates in the same direction at significantly different speeds tend to travel in closely-space clusters. This would not be the case if they had been travelling for hundreds of miles because even the slightest difference in their velocities would cause their dispersal after such great periods of time/distance. Obviously the cars have only been travelling a few minutes. Despite the sarcasm, the above statement is true: cars DO tend to travel in clusters. But nobody believes that the members of a cluster are the same across "vast periods of time". -- --JB All we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.
