Factor X - The Unknown Cause

Indeed we saw the same cause (the pattern of luminescence), but actually there were other things as the hidden (unknown) causes gave tangible effect, so that the results will be different.

  • but why the 2nd person who pokes the ball from the same direction as the 1st player will bounce the ball in a different direction?

This is relative, where a situation has a good impact or it can also have a bad impact, so it is not absolutely true?

Ashley Anthony
