    In Freeman’s mind, Gordon makes the correct observation that in the secret particle physics megacomplex, they bothered to write down the general equation of motion ( x = x_0 + vt + 1/2 at^2) on a whiteboard.

      I remembered it being Newton’s gravity potential, but looking at a picture it’s just a big blur and could equally well be the force. Anyway, I applaud Ross as a physics layman for calling the scientists out.

    This has always been my biggest gripe with the exposition of this game. While studying physics I did the bare minimum of lab work and then dove into my theoretical specialization.
