you appear to lack an extremely basic understanding of how rockets work.
Even if you could be right, you shouldn't say this, or at least you shouldn't say "extremely". I could also say you have an extremely lack of understanding others.

So here is where thing stand. You described a proposed experiment and predicted result. This is fine. You have been told that your predictions are flat out wrong, and the reasons for this have been provided logically by @Nugatory amd @Bandersnatch and @PeterDonis, and with high school math by @Dale. You have not engaged with this with any attempt to understand, and I suspect without any intellectual honesty. This is not ok at all. Why are you here?

FYI, we have had some discussions here of really subtle issues with the various equivalence principles. I was looking forward to something along these lines. In contrast yours is really so obviously wrong that any good student graduating high school physics would easily understand what’s wrong with it.

With that, I think it is time to close this thread. As @PAllen mentioned, the idea has been clearly explained multiple times by multiple people. So there is not much more to say that is constructive.
