Liebniz described momentun as mv^2. This is because he noticed something amiss in Newton's work.
What might have been missed while they were looking to the heavens is the behavior of simple matter on Earth.
It is a different thought. Something found in mechanical egineering. That if a turbine accelerates, it can have different thresholds where vibration will occur. This is because a part of the turbine is subsonic, and a part of it hyper sonic.
What if the same held true for momentum ? That under a certain velocity, it would not have the potential mv^2, but mv+a ?
As described in my other thread, water has the potential f=m1. 1 would be the potential of a but not v^2.
This would seperate the behavior of something like a meteor or asteroid and simple matter like a falling weight on a wheel.
Food for thought.
