If you're moving fast enough, water is close enough to solid. Ask any small flat rock.

Actual badass SOF dudes look a little underwhelming after years of action heroes.

OK, so I looked the guy up, and he certainly had a badass career. He's legit.

But "looks a little underwhelming" is a bit of an understatement. I'm sure it's been said before, and we're all thinking it:

I had a friend that started playing guitar at a very young age. He was an utter virtuoso. It was just this innate natural talent he had that he could never really explain. He got burned out and quit playing guitar in his early twenties. It just got boring for him and his passion for it disappeared. He still owns several expensive guitars but they're just an investment collecting dust these days. Hopefully this kid doesn't go through that, because watching a talent like that go to waste is extremely sad.

I think that explains Mozart for me. "Ok, ok, guys, wait, no, listen. Listen! What if. What if I created anoooother work of heartbreaking genius, y'know, ok, because it's Tuesday, right? But this time I called it 'Sit Your Dirty rear end On My Face And Smear Turds Into My Nosehair'? And then everyone had to play it! They'd look at the sheet music, and no-one would say the name, of course, but they'd all know! They'd all know that the greatest musical performance of their lives was a piece called 'Smear Turds Into My Nosehair'."

I'm not an aviation dude so I can't say this for sure, but I imagine they'd get a proper federal bollocking if they were found in any way to be responsible for putting a jetpack man into the airspace around a major airport without any flight plan or anything.

Blue Footed Booby posted:

The bolded part isn't true even in traditional Newtonian physics. Kinetic energy is 1/2mv2. The sum of the energy of two balls at 20 is much less than one ball at 40.

Choosing to observe from a point where one ball is at rest doesn't make the other ball strike it with any more energy, though. It just means the whole system you're considering has more energy than if you were looking at it from a different point.

When you're doing a collision calculation for one ball at rest and one ball moving, you also have to take the kinetic energy of the entire system into account, because the center of mass of the two balls is moving with respect to your frame of reference. This gives the whole two-body system a non-zero momentum and a non-zero kinetic energy, but this motion through space doesn't grant any extra energy or momentum to the interaction between the two bodies. The extra energy of the one ball moving at 40 vs the sum of the two balls moving at 20 mathematically accounts for the system's kinetic energy. If you do the math for the collision from the center of mass of the two bodies - this is the both balls moving at 20 case - it cancels out that system energy and ends up making the math a little simpler.

In both cases, momentum is conserved, and the change in momentum felt by each ball when they collide when both are moving at 20 is identical to the change in momentum if one was at 40 and one was at rest.
