Umm well we can, water can be made to flow up hill on a slope.

No, it can't. The water is propelled by steam. It's not flowing, it's
boiling.


And steam makes a frictionless cushion so it should be shooting
downhill. There was also another URL which you have conveniently snipped
from your reply.


And water vapor goes up to make clouds all without the help of scientists or
steam.

Gravity does not exist at the LaGrangian point.

Oil droplets could go up or down under the control of Milliken.

If one accelerates toward the earth at the correct rate the gravitational
field disappears.

Photons do not change speed due to acceleration in the earth's gravitational
field. They change colour.

Electrons can exist in large, dense clusters without repelling each other.

A clock runs at two different rates for two observers travelling at
different speeds.

In spite of all these wonders there still ain't no such thing as a free
lunch.



Also no matter how you turn your boat in a calm, the wind is always
directly on your nose.


If you're not moving how can the wind be on your nose?
