Physicist Michael shows in his videos that it is Angular Momentum: r1 * m1 * v1 = r2 * m2 * v2

​@@_John_Sean_Walker Hi John - Yes, I've no doubt that addresses the fundamental cause. But I'm pretty sure Goofy's original claim only really attempted to (wrongly) address what you might call the "effect" of that cause - How much energy is imparted to the objects once launched and the means of accounting for it - KE or his method. Sadly for him, KE keeps winning. Since his original simplistic claim he's been in denial or disagreement about BOTH the cause (the concept of angular momentum) AND as a consequence, the effect that has on launched objects (how fast and far each mass will go - how much energy each moving mass will have once free of the lever) - All because he's so desperate to disprove KE - most likely because a female was involved. But I think it's fair to say he started with objecting to KE first, calling it "girly physics", and when his experiment proposals proved him wrong, he probably only then started throwing in angular momentum in an attempt to sound like he knew more than he does. (I personally never claimed to know anything about it - I've only picked it up a bit as we went along, doing his experiments for him, learning a bit off you guys). I would guess the only reason he now has to deny angular momentum (or misrepresent it) is because that stands in the way of his quest to prove Emilie Du Chatelet etc wrong. That sees to be his main mission in life lol! His claim is that when launched individually, the objects would have different energy according to KE rules, thus supposedly proving KE wrong. ie, he wrongly believes the KE formula means we will miraculously get more energy by launching at r2 than r1. And the reason he believes that is because he also wrongly believes the object WILL (or SHOULD - if we didn't keep cheating!) go twice as fast just because it's launched from r2. Yet it won't. I've no doubt the reason it won't is for the reasons you quoted. Gotta dash anyway - in demand - to go get a loaf!

@@stephenbrough8132 Remember Steve. You cheated in every experiment and DIspar cheated in every experiment and Ian cheated in every experiment and every scientist who ever lived cheated in every experiment. In fact nature cheats every time it shows Drafty the truth. It's all one big conspiracy led by reality itself to get one over the god-emporer of physics but he will eventually prevail. One day we will rename existence the Gary-verse and crown him King Mosher the first 😆

@@glowing571 Sounds like an episode of Red Dwarf lol! "The Gary-Verse"

@@stephenbrough8132 Ha ha! It does. Except Red Dwarf is very funny and Mosher is just pitiful.
