Re: Up Hill or Down

Sorry, Tom. This is basic physics. We aren't discussing the cutting edge of
carbohydrates in endurance where research is incomplete. We are talking
elementary mechanics. If you could establish that was bull, you would be
guaranteed a Nobel prize in Physics. The Tivers version of
Michaelson-Morley.

I should also point out (as did David) that all of this is statics. Dynamic
calculations are a lot more complex (but well understood although the math
can be overwhelming - nothing controversial here to physicists, except maybe
the flat earth type).
