You made this claim: the longer a theory is debated, the less its
validity. The roundness of the earth has been debated five times
longer than relativity has been debated. According to YOU, then, the
theory that the earth is round is five times more invalid than
relativity.

That's what it has to do with the price of eggs in China, John.

Be my guest to try. Looking forward to it.

Oh, yes, I have, John. You don't seem to remember anything that was
told to you the day before.
Do you like easy to read pages? Here's one for students at West
Virginia University:
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~vawter/PhysicsNet/Topics/Work/WorkEngergyTheorem.html
"The energy associated with the work done by the net force does not
disappear after the net force is removed (or becomes zero), it is
transformed into the Kinetic Energy of the body. We call this the Work-
Energy Theorem."

The definition of work is in high school books, John.

Doesn't have to, John. The force is not solely responsible for the
increase in energy. The work is. The work is the product of both the
force and the displacement. That's how the work increases in each
second. It's simple, John. Seventh graders can understand it. I don't
know why you're so much slower than the average 7th grader.

Oh, but I HAVE answered it, John. What I won't do is repeat myself
endlessly, just because you can't remember things from day to day, and
just because you don't know how to look things up that happened

Oh, come on, John. Really?

All of the Barnes & Noble College Outline Series books have got both
LC numbers and ISBNs.
For example, the College Outline book by Clarence E. Bennett called
Physics Problems and How to Solve Them has ISBN 0064602036. I gave you
a long list of books by Clarence E. Bennett, all with ISBNs and LC
numbers, and I just wanted you to identify with ISBN which one it was,
so that I could secure a copy and look at it.

You gave me two LC numbers, neither of which the Library of Congress
recognizes. Clearly, you either cannot read a number or you are
fabricating.

Then you assert that this is an authoritative book that supports what
you are saying, and yet you now claim the publisher did not think
highly enough of the book to order either an ISBN or file it with the
Library of Congress. And you'll note that you claimed the publisher
did not file it with the Library of Congress after all, even after
giving me TWO different LC numbers.

I think you have a chronic problem with lying, John. Blustering and
lying.

I think it must be very hard for you to look at your own face in the
morning knowing this, and so you bluster and lie some more to cover it
up.

Your actions speak for themselves, John. Even a high school kid could
see you're a sham.
