TooSilly

Absolutely. Sorry if my post gave the wrong impression. The only reason I mentioned his work situation was to explain that it is futile arguing him. His harangue has nothing do with physics. It is a way for him to pass the time, to get attention. It will never end. It does not matter what you say, what experiments you show him, what math you show him. He will deny everything as "made up woo", and repeat his claims. For the last ten plus years, his modus operandi is to attack dozens of people on YouTube just to provoke a response and get attention for himself and his YouTube channel. He even goes so far as to flat out lie and misrepresent what they say to provoke them into responding. Luckily, and quite astonishingly, almost none of his targets has taken the bait and responded. Most just ignore him and he eventually gives up and looks for another victim to taunt into getting some attention for himself. I am posting here because he doesn't tolerate dissent on his YouTube channel. He banned me after just one post where I proved his claims wrong using simple high school algebra. Show me which of my claims is unfounded. Go ahead. As for the subject where you banned me, let's recap. 1. You claimed that a train with mass 2m velocity v hitting a stationary train with mass m (elastic collision) would cause the heavier train to stop and the lighter train to take off at 2v. 2. I showed you that it is impossible. The predicted velocities are v/3 for the heavy train and 4v/3 for the lighter train. This is the only allowable outcome given conservation of momentum and energy. (There is a second trivial solution that the two train velocities do not change, but that is irrelevant.) 3. You did your usual word salad evasion, talking about Newton's cradle and billiard balls. Irrelevant because your initial claim was about unequal masses. 4. Then you repeated your assertion that P.G. and Professor L. said the same thing as you. I challenge you to show me where P.G. or Professor L. claim that when a mass 2m velocity v has an elastic collision with a stationary mass m, the result will be the heavier mass coming to a full stop, and the lighter mass taking off at 2v. Show me video timestamps of P.G. and Professor L. making those claims.

Just FYI, you people are wasting your time with this guy. He has been shown the math for the double slit pattern several times but he can't understand simple high school math, so he ignores it and keeps repeating his word salad in a desperate bid for attention. He keeps making the same video over and over again, repeating his word salad and "you can kind of see that it works" without providing any math to support his claims. When someone asks him for a proper math derivation, he bans them from his YouTube channel. Recently he has been claiming that momentum equals energy (he understands neither) and the 1/2 mv^2 is a bogus formula not needed. When I showed him the math behind a trivial example of elastic collision of a mass 2m at velocity v hitting a stationary mass m, he did his usual word salad of backtracking on his own claims, shifting all over the place, and confirming that he lacks the intellectual integrity to stand behind his own claims when confronted with facts. To top it off, he deliberately misquotes mainstream physics educators on YouTube, flat out lying about what they say in their videos. Straight up lies. On a side note, you people are far more generous to him that he is to his critics. He immediately bans anyone from his YouTube channel who points out his idiocy. He banned me just for showing the math for an elastic collision, proving him wrong. It's a trivial experiment that millions of high school students do every year around the world, albeit with blocks or balls instead of trains, to learn about elastic and inelastic collisions, but he lacks the skills to understand basic high school algebra or mechanics. His "physics" assertions are just a way to pass the time and get some attention since he has nothing to do all day, living on welfare for 32+ years. I am not disputing his welfare status, simply point out that he has a lot of free time which he spends all day watching physics videos and then plays pretend physicist by regurgitating poorly understood physics jargon in his own videos.
