Resource for explaining the physics of timing
O.k. I have read Lars' paper on proper timing, and I think I understand how to do this, but what I don't understand is what's REALLY going on physically with my engine when I'm doing this.
I like to get very detailed when it comes to understanding the mechanics and underpinnings of things. I want to actually understand what's going on here. Some of the terminology I just don't "GET" if you know what I mean. I want to know the details and the physics of everything. I understand this may be mechanics 101 layman stuff, but I've not had to get this detailed before. If I have to learn some of the basics, I welcome it.
Any resource would help, Web, books, etc...
Thanks!

There is no better source to get a better, more thorough understanding of what Lars has written than Lars!! Bottomless pit of ever enriching detail.
Send him an EMail and I'm sure he will satisfy your every curiosity... well.....
