    The Reasons Behind Following a Religion

    I don't intend to discuss religion. I don't want it to be for people to criticize or argue over people's beliefs. It's intended as more of a poll than anything else. But if it's against the rules then so be it.

    Is the ground moving or are we moving?

    Gravity keeps you stuck to the floor, friction reduces your acceleration. Gravity would still happen, even if the Earth was not moving in relation to the sun. Is that what you were asking, I'm not quite clear? You are moving relative to the earth. What if there were 6 skiers on the planet...

    Energy Source for Supermarkets: Cars or Kinetic Engines?

    I can see what you're saying, but I thought that the additional amount of energy lost as heat via friction in the faster-moving 'single' system would be less than the amount of energy lost through friction in two systems, if you were doing the same work with them both running at a lower speed...

    Energy Source for Supermarkets: Cars or Kinetic Engines?

    Sending a probe to the Earth's core?

    Energy Source for Supermarkets: Cars or Kinetic Engines?
