Hi, DaddyUnit. Knowing how discouraging it can be to receive no response to a post, I thought I would have a look at cr-theory. One question springs out of the first few lines. It relates to the changing shape of the trampoline surface.

Once it was changed, NO additional energy (or action) was continually needed to maintain the curvature

Surely gravity provides the continually maintained force. If you were maintaining the depression by pressing something down on the trampoline, I suspect you would soon become aware that you were expending energy in order simply to maintain the status quo.

There never was nothing.
