comment Is Earth's orbit altered by recoil from take-off/launch/recovery of aero/space vehicles?
The simple answer is yes. By an incredibly small amount, especially as most of the mass returns to earth.

comment Infinite Energy from Bobbing
sorry @JohnK - not going to bother - it is way too trivial. Look up any description of real world losses in dynamic systems.

comment Infinite Energy from Bobbing
very simply - neither of your equations is true in the real world. You need to add in a term for losses such as friction in the rubber of the balloon, turbulence in the air when it is moving past balloon or propellor etc etc etc

no, I'm bringing my common sense to bear: everything costs energy.

comment Infinite Energy from Bobbing
no- no there shouldn't. every process loses some energy in heat, turbulence, drag etc. so you will never generate more potential energy.

comment What is physics of a normal jump?
Can you explain what you mean? What kind of jump? If one exactly like in your image, what part of it is mimportant? There are a lot of aspects to take into account, so if you can give context that would help.

I read the q but like I said your linkage between paragraphs three and four doesn't work for me.

Infinite doesn't have to mean everything happens. Infinite is weird like that. Time travel may be a physical impossibility - an infinite universe won't change that.
