As a Philly adjacent anon, I guess I’ll say, as a precaution—it was nice knowing you all. Drills held in Philadelphia in case of hypersonic missile attack or other mass casualty event recently. Russia, Iran, and China threatening strikes. MilOps in SCS.

✅ - PUTIN, HOW COULD YOU - ✅
It is a red flag to you that when you toss up some physical formula as though it were a magic formula---and encounter someone who eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner---you put on your Hat of Outrage that someone with greater relevant education has called you out for an ignoramus. Long life indeed? Longer than mine? I'm 71. If you can beat that, you are closer to the grave, but you don't understand physics any better.
It's not a matter of "believing me." I didn't demand any belief. You just want to puff magic smoke and make me and my expertise go away, because it spoils your beach party with the grim rain of reality. (I also worked in the field of strategic defense for half my career, where nuclear weapons were the threat.)
And, pal, you weren't "agreeing" with me. That's just a lame retreat from your difficult position. You were throwing up a cryptic challenge and denouncing my understanding of physics. You never explained the relevance of kinetic energy to the discussion at hand.
Again, if you want to discuss a subject, I can offer explanation and answers. But if you want to pretend you can talk down to me, you are sadly mistaken.
If you really had 3 degrees in "aeronautical engineering" as you so readily claim, you'd never call this a "magic" formula. Rather, you'd immediately identify it. This formula is taught in HS physics. I know aeronautical engineers and you ain't no aeronautical engineer. So, stop the bullshitting and go away.
I'm not calling it a magic formula. I am saying that you are using it as a magic formula. It is the expression for kinetic energy (which you mentioned at the outset, so what am I supposed to prove...that I can read what you wrote?). I guess you are proud that you took high school physics. Bully for you. In all this exchange you haven't uttered a word of explanation for why you brought it up, which indicates to me that you don't really know. You just thought it would be a cool piece of one-upmanship. Just like I could write q = 1/2 rho u^2 (a real equation, by the way), and you would not be the wiser.
My wife knows aeronautical engineers, too, but she is no aeronautical engineer and she would be the first to say so. Nor are you.
Gahd, you are seem insecure. Threatened by an equation. You sir, are definitely not an engineer.
My 40 years say otherwise. You are the one who is threatened---by having your ignorance exposed. You can quote an equation, but you can't justify having quoted it. You spend all this time dancing around, trying to throw fey powder on me, but you won't (can't) ...explain ...why ...you ...mentioned ...the ...equation. I will bet you took high school physics but have no idea how to apply it.
I don't care what you want to call me. I know better. What I am interested in is whether you can explain why you mentioned the equation. If you have a legitimate purpose, that would be cool and we could have a conversation. Right now you are making this into a Who's Got The Longest Dick contest.
