What is a good way to jump long distances and from higher up without constantly injuring my ankles and shins from it?I love running and jumping,and I'm really good at it too, but it's much harder and more painful when my bigger jumps get me hurt, and then I have to wait to heal, any suggestions for different landings or take offs?

The key is to move with your momentum, not against it. Instead of attempting a full stop on impact, allow your body to continue with its natural course of motion until it expends itself enough to initiate a stop without hurting yourself. A nice roll can spend enough momentum for you to get back to your feet unharmed, if you have the room for it. Pick your landing zone with care.

And please for the moon’s sake be careful. Even Moonshadows can end up breaking something from being too ambitious.

Oh definitely. In the show’s canon all the characters still have freewill. Same goes for legends. They just got time travel wrong, most writers do. I was just saying that if all of this was real and happening in our world, what those implications would be. Time travel is fun to think about and write about but if we ever figured out how to actually go back in time it would mean that everything is already predetermined, which would mean no freewill. Just an interesting factoid to think about.

“Time travel is fun to think about” BISH TIME TRAVEL GIVES ME A HEADACHE.

But what I’m gathering from your physicist knowledge is that time travel would be great for historians and documentarians, but what the philosophers and writers of the world want is actually multiverse travel.

Which would allow free will to exist while also preserving the concept of time travel as we currently understand it?

Oh, by the way, I’m going for full on Physics as my major. I know it’s going to be beyond hard, but I’ve wanted to be an astronaut since I was a little kid, and I’m not going to let that opportunity pass. So I’m going to be taking some online math courses to get myself up to Calc 1 before Fall semester, and some Gen Chem learning module classes too so I can stay in Gen Chem 1. So if I’m not on here much, or if I don’t answer anything you send, just know it’s because I’m doing schoolwork and making my dreams come true.  Who knows. I might develop the first working warp core, or be the first woman on Mars.

The amount of times I wish I could just explain physics with “because it just fucking is”. #I’mAShitPhysicist
