My main reason for posting this is to prevent overreaction to the research, especially from the "pill press" internet people and the impact that has on non-science people. Yes, it is interesting. No, it is not definitive. Worried about it? Take a short 10 minute walk, 5 or 6 days a week, in...

Using the Lagrangian of the system I reached that ##x(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+ut ## is the real trajectory of the particle. After that, I consider different trajectories: ##x(\alpha,t) = x(t) + \alpha(t)## with ##\alpha(t)## being an arbitrary function of t expect for the conditions...
