This is something I have been thinking about since the Olympics... at what point will it not be possible for human beings to swim or run any faster. There has to be a point where the human body just can't go any faster, no matter how much you train, what kind of things you put into your body (legal or not), etc.
I mean it isn't possible to swim a 400 IM, for example, in 2 seconds (at least I don't think it ever will be) so where does it end? And when will that happen?

So every swimming world record is slower by the amount of time needed to activate the pad, but every time is slower by that same timing delay Originally posted by Rob Copeland
After re-reading this comment of yours I think I realize now that I misinterpreted what you meant there (I think anyway?)....If your saying that the time necessary for the electronics to register a time after the sufficient amount of pressure needed to activate the touch pad has been accomplished is the same for everyone??...well yes, isn't that completely obvious??....Both Mattson and I already made that point in earlier postings in fact......I was interpreting that statement as saying that the microscopic time delay associated to some pre-set minimal pressure level for a touch pad will be "almost" exactly the same from one touch pad to the next....thus a statement that each touchpad registers (i.e. activates tha electronics within the system) when "almost" the exact same amount of pressure is applied to it from one touch pad to the next ...that's what I am skeptical about.......
