If a car weighs 1000 pounds, will it take 1001 pounds of force to set it in motion (on a flat surface)?

The Trigger of Gravity
Dr. James Winnery's NDE research
The scientific method requires a phenomenon to be able to be reproducible under laboratory conditions for it to be declared a "real" phenomenon. In the early days, near-death experiences were thought by some to be just "phantom" visions and nothing more than imagination. But then Dr. James E. Whinnery, a chemistry professor with West Texas A&M, became involved with research involving fighter pilots being subjected to extreme gravitational forces in a giant centrifuge to simulate the extreme conditions that can occur during aerial combat maneuvering. Strangely enough, it turns out that under extreme g-forces, fighter pilots lose consciousness and have a near-death experience. Whinnery wrote a technical report for the National Institute for Discovery Science about the phenomenon and in doing so proved the near-death experience to be a real phenomenon. The following is a summary of his technical report of how NDEs are triggered by severe gravitational forces.
Okay, thank you!No, it would take 1000 pounds of force to lift the car, fighting directly against the force of gravity (i.e. weight). Making it roll would generally require much less force, as you overcome various frictional forces.
If you've ever pushed a car in neutral, you shouldn't flatter yourself that you've been exerting forces of a ton or more.
Hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are gases. All three are "invisible" to the naked eye.
If you mix the lightest of the two, hydrogen & oxygen, you get water which is, of course, visible and liquid.
But if you mix hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, you get "air". Which is (in it's clean state) invisible. Even though nitrogen is heavier than hydrogen and oxygen.
Please explain.
In a mixture, no chemical reactions take place between the elements.
Interesting -- is that why water and oil don't mix?

Here is a question that has taxed me in my idle moments.
Is time linear? If it is, has it always been so. If it follows a curve what is the formula for that curve. For either what are the constants and variables.
The assumption I am basing this question on is that matter and time started with the "big bang".
but if u had to guess as a physist what would you say?
That got me wondering. Is the difficulty of mixing polar and non-polar things due to repulsion, or is it merely differential attraction? If you could put one oil molecule and one water molecule next to each other, would they stick, or would they still run away from each other?But the reason for that has to do with the nature of the molecules. Water is a polar molecule (meaning that its electrical charges are not evenly distributed), while oils are non-polar molecules. If I'm remembering the chemistry right, polar molecules are typically easy to dissolve in polar molecules, and the same with non-polar/non-polar, but one of each don't mix readily.

20°C should suffice. Any colder and it might be uncomfortable, any hotter and it might become painful.but if u had to guess as a physist what would you say? i'm all for the experiments though. thats some science even I am down for lol.
It depends what you mean by linear.
As far as we know, time has only one dimension. Space has three: up/down, fron/back, left/right. But time only seems to have past and future. In that sense time is like a line.
Einstein's theories of relativity show that different observers may measure time differently. Two identical clocks, one that is moving and one that is not, will run at different speeds. Two identical clocks, one that is in a gravity well (say on the surface of the earth) and one that is far in outer space, will run at different speeds. So in this sense time is not the same for all situations.
More philosophically, one might ask whether the rate at which time passes changes. It's hard to say if this even has any meaning. We tell how fast something is going in distance by measuring how many miles go by in an hour. You can go 20 miles per hour or 40 miles per hour. But if you try to measure how fast time is going, you have to ask how many hours go by in an hour? Exactly 1. If some omnipotent being made our time run faster or slower (compared to his super-duper outside the universe clock) we would never know it. If our pulse slowed down, we could never measure it, because our watch would also have slowed down the same amount.
