Yeah that is pretty bad
@deuse look at the context here, you listed the times yourself:
How on earth have you reached the conclusion "So NIST doesn't even know if the free fall was 1.75 sec or 4.0 seconds."????
If you really did interpret it that way then perhaps you might like to take a look at the above stages you listed noting in particular the end of stage 1 and the start of stage 3.
@deuse look at the context here, you listed the times yourself:
- Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
- Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
- Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity"
