Being a scientist (or scienists in training) is only an indication of your critical thinking skills and curiosoity. It doesn't say anything about what you do for entertainment or leisure.

You will find leisure activities of scienists (or scienstist in training) are generally the same as society at large (disregarding the dumbfuck ones, like religion).

There are atheletes, sports guys, board gamers, classical gamers, tv buffs, movie buffs, anime guys, outdoors men, high society guys, comic guys, party guys, bar guys, sex freaks, club guys, gangsters, criminals, philosophers, engineers (homosexuals), fashion guys/girls, world travelers, etc.

"What is it like to be a crayon?"

It is ok i guess. You aren't alive, and you kinda just wait around. Then you get all used up, and you become part of drawings.

Arxiv is free, but you usually have to have some sort of endorsement (a screening process to make sure it isn't just little kids posting nonsense). I doubt you will be able to publish to arxiv.

However, vixra doesn't have a screening process. It isn't nearly as reputable as arxiv, but it will still get your shit out there. Publication is free, no huge screening process. If your papaer is complete bullshit though, it will be rejected non-the-less. Good Luck.

>Implying modern math wasn't developed in the middle of India

That region used to be the center of cultural enlightenment for hundrends of years. Then the religious fundamentalists turned it into shits-ville!

IT IS HAPPENING TO AMERICA NEXT!
Romney 2012! Let america BURN! I want to watch!

To answer your question OP.

The concept of energy is more complicated then you realize. Energy isn't always conserved. Energy conservation is not some "universal principle". Conservation of energy is applicable for only certain types of systems.

When talking about "Energy" at a universal scale, we don't yet know enough about the "system" to actually say if energy is conserved or not. In fact the current models we use to describe the universe of a large scale, don't have conservation of energy!

Anyother questions?

Time travel is already possible just pick up any QFT book and read up, particles travel backwards through time all the fucking time. Shit is trivial.

Time travel is also permitted through rotating black-holes. The erogo-sphere produces all sorts of werid shit, including closed time-loops.

Gentleman, gentleman, how about we stop all the pointless fighting and just agreed OP is a stupid fag who can't into science or logic.

China has 95% of 'rare earth' materials. We know they're limited, we know they're increasingly in demand for use in advanced technology and we know to secure our resource demands we must start ASAP to avoid serious shortages and economic conflicts in the future.

We have the technology, we can do this but it will take a a very long time with huge investments to develop the new technology and processes.

Do not underestimate the scale and importance of this mission, it is critical to our survival. Godspeed, I hope to see you on the other side.

Let's just all agree that engineers suck cock!

>Than how do you explain things that are still not explained?

You don't, cause they can't be explained yet. DURRRRRRRRRR!

You still have to allow for the possibility of them being expalined at some future point though. It is a FUCKING cop out to say that "it must be a magic king".

>Is there a way to work out the displacement due to gravity over time as an equation that accounts for changing distance?

Of course, this is a very very simple problem. You just use Lagrangian Dynamics.

I try to consume and waste as many resources as possible. I wanna fuck up this planet ASAP!
Fuck EARTH!
