Good grief. I knew he was fairly stupid, but this surpasses everything. He thinks energy is conserved in an inelastic collision, and calls himself an expert. I simply don't have any words to describe how stupid and arrogant that is. If somebody hasn't Stundied this yet, I'm nominating it myself.

ETA: It's just sunk in that the thread this comes from is one on what claims to be a serious scientific forum, discussing whether and why momentum is conserved in an inelastic collision. Were the participants asleep in high school physics lessons?
mass C of 1 kg and velocity 10 m/s collides with stationary funny mass A also of 1 kg and applies its energy 50 J to A. After collision (C is glued to A and accelerates A) both A and C has same velocity 7.07 m/s and move as one mass of 2 kg glued together with energy 50 J.
WOW!!
Not according to every physics textbook I have ever seen(nor my grade 12 physics teacher)
Perhaps Issac Newton's ghost will speak to Heiwa this Christmas.
