Oh, Androcles, surely you can't be so stupid as to think you've laid
an artful trap.
Well, maybe for a buffoon like Phil, yes, but if you really believe
this is a fundamental problem with the law of conservation of energy,
then it's time to get the rust-brush out again.
(But you and I know that you're just playing little games for the
purposes of heckling.)

There is nothing wrong with that because the total mechanical energy
will be conserved. KE will keep increasing but PE will decrease
negatively thus canceling each other.

How did mechanical energy get into the conversation?

Velocity is defined as dr/dt, Phil!

Didn't you study mathematics once, or did you just make
that up!

You got me there, I can't answer that! You just saved Einstein!
