Lots of folks . . .
I suspect with degrees in fields related to such issues . . . perhaps higher than yours . . .
assert that such notions are quite archaic. Many say they are laughably quite wrong.
I think there have even been scientific articles posted on FR about how Einstein and even Newton didn’t have it quite as figured out as they thought.
BTW, how do you explain . . .
Rig the test thusly . . . a paper cup with a 1” ball bearing in it on the end of a drill that is left off. The drill is affixed to a device that will spring loaded cause the 1” ball bearing to fly out of the cup when the mechanism is released.
In another paper cup affixed to the end of a drill an identical distance etc. level with the other one . . . only this drill spins up to the necessary RPM’S . . . which I’ve forgotten . . .
At the requisite RPM’s the device is triggered and both ball bearings fly up into the air. The spinning one flys further.
Newton, Einstein and evidently you say impossible.
So much for your high school brilliance.
Hey, even Werner von Braun was shocked.
Don’t recall if the following was posted here or not:

Mass increases exponentially the closer you approach the speed of light. Your trick with the drill nothwithstanding.

Assuming I read you correctly, there is more energy from a spinning object, as compared to something at rest and then released. You'll fly farther from a spinning carousel than a moving one that you have to jump from. Your jump plus the added energy of a moving platform. Simple physics. You know, like David and his sling against Goliath.

Strange Lights Chased by Jets Again October 29,
Over Stephenville, Texas, and Crystalline Triangle in Ohio

“As the large white-orange object was rising up,
it looked like it was going into the center of the triangle of blue lights. ”

October 31, 2008 Stephenville, Texas - Every day since October 23, I have been receiving reports of unusual aerial lights in different regions of the United States, including Stephenville, Texas. Eyewitnesses describe patterns of lights in straight lines that change to vertical lines; or straight lines that change to triangular patterns; or spinning discs shooting off spirals of light; or pulsing red-orange lights; or even a huge, flat triangle-shaped craft apparently lifting a large, glowing object from a hill near Empire, Ohio.
On October 29, I was scheduled to interview Jason Rowland who lives in Granbury, Texas. He and his wife had been in Stephenville (about 30 miles southwest of Granbury) on both October 28 and October 29, to sky watch for strange lights since so many Stephenville residents had been reporting aerial lights and jets chasing them since October 23. He was going to tell me about bright, white aerial lights he and his family saw evenly spaced in a straight line on Tuesday, October 28. But when I called him to do the October 29, interview at 8 PM, he and his wife were outside in Stephenville and excited right then about seeing more odd lights with jets speeding toward them.
Interview:
Jason Rowland, Stephenville, Texas: “We started seeing those lights again tonight (Oct. 29, 2008, at 8 PM Central). There’s a main one sitting way above all of them. And we saw all the fighter jets come over. They’ve got the blinking lights on them. And the jets meet up with the lights and they are gone! This one was horizontal this time and they flash on like headlights on a car, like they turn off and on. It’s like you’ll see, Boom! You’ll see three or four lights in a horizontal fashion that turn back off. Then it turns back on and it (lights) are on a vertical fashion. Then we see all the military personnel (in jets) going out towards this main thing (big light). There is like one big one in the sky, bright light. And then there is another one below it that is red and all the military personnel (in jets) started going towards that (red) one. I mean, they made contact with it. And they were gone! I know they (jets) did (make contact) because I saw the jets go right to it (red light).
THE JETS MADE LIKE COLLISION CONTACT WITH THESE LIGHTS?
I don’t know about collision contact, but they (jets) went right to it (red light below big white light) and then all of a sudden their flashing lights (of jets) were gone. And I know it was our military because our military (jets) have flashing lights. I know from being in the Marine Corps that our plane lights flash off and on.
WERE THERE ALSO FOUR CAR LIGHT-LOOKING LIGHTS IN A ROW?
There were four at one time and there was two and then it went back to three again.
THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH OFF AND THEN END UP IN A VERTICAL LINE?
Right.
AND COME BACK TO A HORIZONTAL LINE?
Right.
Lights and Jets Also Over Granbury, Texas
Now my brother is seeing it in Granbury above his house. And we saw some weird stuff like big, ol’ circular fashion come off the big, huge, bright light. It looked almost like laser spinning, like a blade coming off of there (big white light). It (spinning laser-looking)was way bigger than than the light. My Mom called me and said – she was freaking out – ‘Craig, there’s one over his house (Jason’s brother). There are military jets all around it! So he (Craig, brother) called me and said, ‘Yeah, there’s one above my house and military jets are around it.’ He’s in Granbury and I’m in Stephenville.
THAT’S ABOUT HOW MANY MILES APART?
About 30 miles.
