Here… let me help you. You are absolutely correct… completely… and since you can’t seem to refute the things I say with either math or logic… I give you this ultimate weapon!!!


See… when I was in the 5th grade, my mom used to change out the food in the vending machines at a local factory. We obviously weren’t the Rockafellers so you can imagine the less questionable food would come home with her. One morning, before school, I made the mistake of eating the wrong keilbasi dog and well… do I need to go on? Seriously, it’s embarassing enough and I’m thinking it’s the ammunition you need to win every argument against me… right? You win…

Never mind, the things you say are ridiculously wrong. Even the other 5th graders could be taught that forces combine when they collide in the same direction. I could set them in a chair that rolls and have them throw a ball at me and then never expect them to think that if I threw it back at them… they would return to the same position… but here’s the thing. If we did that experiment and they didn’t roll back into position… you can just discredit me by pointing and saying… “What does he know! It’s Mikey Poopie PANTS!!!” Right… You win…

Or… when we’re out on the school yard playing tetherball…. And I give them a thought experiment where they are playing it in space with a magnetic ball that strikes in the same spot over and over… you know… cause it’s tethered.

Now the 5th graders aren’t afraid of AI like you… they’re not intimidated at all by it. So weird.. right? So the 5th grader could actually be taught how to simulate that with AI and find out what would happen... to the pole and not the ball… (though you'll want to simulate two tetherball setups or it won't be pleasant) or they can just take your word for it. Remember, you’re telling them that an object that hits another object from the rear has to stop it, reverse the momentum and somehow drag it back into position.

Now, to give credit… at least the person with doctorate quoted me the correct equation… he was just quoting me the equation that has to do with the projectile… not the platform. The kenetic energy of the projectile will absolutely always equal zero… but who the fuck cares about the projectile? What is the ship doing?

And don’t take my word for it… Ask NASA… as I look up closed-loop pulse propulsion on Google…. Lots of new things are popping up… my guess is, NASA has been offsetting this annoyance for years and can’t figure out how to do much useful with it…

But what do I know, I’m a fiction writer, not a physicist… and I’m not a very good fiction writer either. My fiction is intended to be used as source code so other people can get AI to understand the closed-loop pulse propulsion concept. It is not meant to be taken seriously. I can say things implying electrons don’t have as much mass as an anvil… and say that incorrectly because I don’t actually give a shit. I assume you can figure out what I am saying on your own… This is a fictional story!

Here’s what you’re not seeing… I honestly don’t care how hateful and condescending you are to me… make as much fun of me as possible… I don’t care… But what I am watching is the view count… that view count means people are coming to these chats and copying and pasting what I say into AI because they can’t make it talk about closed-loop pulse propulsion on their own. They don’t understand the math…

Or maybe they do… maybe this is the story I am writing… who knows… I am just Mikey Poopie Pants… what the fuck do I know.

Isn't this forum supposed to be at least partially science-based? NCIndie Dec 2023 #1
How lovely... and your proof that it's wrong is? mikelewis Dec 2023 #2
I really hope this is all tongue-in-cheek. If so, that's one for you! Just in case... NCIndie Dec 2023 #5
Ok... please read a little farther down the post please... There is no plan for a shotgun based propulsion design... mikelewis Dec 2023 #7
I read it before I posted. NCIndie Dec 2023 #9
I'm not an AI robot and your challenge was based on scientific inquiry. I responded in kind... mikelewis Dec 2023 #11

The recoil pulls the gun away from you? Indeed... but not completely.... mikelewis Dec 2023 #29
Interesting topic.... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #3
I think you're missing the point... none of those are useful for extended space travel... or can reach similar speeds mikelewis Dec 2023 #4
My apologies... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #15
All of those have a terrible carbon footprint. mikelewis Dec 2023 #21
It's an interesting concept... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #35

Interesting. You mean no CO2 emissions during the operation of the vehicle. NCIndie Dec 2023 #6
This isn't about the energy required to run it.. that's still a problem... for a bit... we first have to see.... mikelewis Dec 2023 #8
Innovation starts with skeptics being skeptical. I'll take that role. NCIndie Dec 2023 #10
I built this idea fighting A for the past year... lol... so thank you I do appreciate skepticism. It built this idea. mikelewis Dec 2023 #12
Be combative! NCIndie Dec 2023 #13
That is precisely why I am here... I have had my ass handed to me so many times on this forum.... LOL mikelewis Dec 2023 #14
He gets more than combative Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #57
Not if construction is done... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #16
Ok. Namely....? NCIndie Dec 2023 #17
Namely what?... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #18
You're going to build a car with zero carbon footprint because of renewables+nuclear? NCIndie Dec 2023 #19
Yeah.... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #20
What about the force the projectile is exerting against the curved barrel? sl8 Dec 2023 #22
Correct! However... it's much less than you think... I was shocked too mikelewis Dec 2023 #23
I hate ads 😏 mikelewis Dec 2023 #24
And to prove that... here's all the math... mikelewis Dec 2023 #30
Here, I think, is the fundamental error - whether ChatGPT's or yours, I can't tell from the formatting muriel_volestrangler Dec 2023 #73
Well... if you say it... it must be so... mikelewis Dec 2023 #74
If you really want to understand, please take just one physics class caraher Dec 2023 #75
Holy monkey shit batman... you cracked it... fuck me mikelewis Dec 2023 #76

OK, some numbers for position (Python? Why Python? This is a physics problem, not a numerical procedure) muriel_volestrangler Dec 2023 #81
After firing the total momentum is 0... mikelewis Dec 2023 #83
Can you try to write better, please? Your questions, or messages, are obscured by your style. muriel_volestrangler Dec 2023 #84
And now specifically to your point... mikelewis Dec 2023 #31
Why this is actually inline with physics... mikelewis Dec 2023 #32
The apparent paradox arises from a simplified view of the situation and is resolved when considering the full complexity mikelewis Dec 2023 #33
This part of the argument is where chatgpt is completely botching the physics. Salviati Dec 2023 #37
I said that outloud and a goat appeared in my living room... mikelewis Dec 2023 #38
Chat GPT is not a content expert. Salviati Dec 2023 #36
You are most certainly correct... mikelewis Dec 2023 #39
I don't understand, what does the letter 'O' have to do with it!? OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #40
You are most certainly correct... mikelewis Dec 2023 #61
I wouldn't trust ChatGPT to count my toes accurately. It wasn't written to do that. OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #41
This is one of those things... Salviati Dec 2023 #43
Indeed! "What if!?..." OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #45
Breaking the tyranny of the rocket equation would be a hell of a thing! Salviati Dec 2023 #46

It's an EmDrive. Better tests eliminate it. Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #54
There's still some dispute OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #58
The IVO has test in orbit, past the minimum 1 month pre-test orbit Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #60
Frankly, I don't expect it to succeed either OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #63
Here's an experiment I am eager to see the results of OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #42
Very cool... mikelewis Dec 2023 #47
Here's the fix... mikelewis Dec 2023 #48
The problem is you have to carry those anvils. Salviati Dec 2023 #52
You only need two anvils... mikelewis Dec 2023 #53

Call me "Mikey Poopie Pants!" mikelewis Dec 2023 #56
He did refute them, and you acknowledged as much OKIsItJustMe Dec 2023 #59
I lied... mikelewis Dec 2023 #67
ok Ptah Dec 2023 #68
Why would I pretend such a thing exists? mikelewis Dec 2023 #69
This might help: Ptah Dec 2023 #70
Not logic. "view count" is not equal to "copy-paste" nor equal to "don't understand the math" Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #62
Why on earth do you think I would be trying to use logic against you? mikelewis Dec 2023 #64
If you want to be taken seriously, and you clearly do, then don't be childish. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #65
