Can I get this in unretarded?

Im not changing anything - you just dont understand it - Springs are rigid because the transfer tension from one end to the other, still waiting for you to replace any actual spring with a slinky and until you do, your points are moot.

so springs are rigid, under the mechanical definition of rigid that no matter the force applied no distance on them changes?

a body in which the distance between any pair of points remains fixed under all forces;



spring
-//////////-
10 coils(/)
point one is the third / and point 2 is the 7th
if i extend the spring
- / / / / / / / / / / -
the distance between the two points increases

gg ur stupid


If i put the spring in between two opposite tensions -the spring needs to be rigid in space to be a spring - if the coil just expands - its not a working mechanical spring

gg you're stupid

no not no matter the force - only the force that that spring was designed to resist

at no point ever is a slinky designed to resist opposite forces at either end or becomes rigid in space.

Ok now we're getting somewhere.

A slinky, is a tension spring that is designed to resist almost zero force. as far as springs go it's incredibly weak.

here's an experiment you can do at home to prove this, take a slinky in the palm of your hand, turn it over and let go of almost all of the slinky but hold on to only a few coils. The slinky will fall to a distance, then spring back a bit closer to you, then fall almost as far as the first time it fell, then spring back almost as far as the first time it sprang back. it will repeat this and regress each time until eventually it meets equilibrium.

im going to need a definition to even figure out what this means, maybe a picture.

Your augments are incredibly weak - here's an experiment you can do

Hold a slinky in your hand, lift up the top coil - is the tension transferred throughout the entire coil or is the tension segmented into just the next coil?

This is why when you drop an extended slinky, gravity would affect each coil because the recoil tension would not be throughout the entire length. Therefore gravity does not exist.

let's start with proof that there is one first
