What's your answer to MY question?

Actually, that WAS my answer to your question, think about it. (Your stated   definition of "rationalize" was a bit narrow). One cannot "cheat" physics.

For the record, I enjoy your posts, don't let the fact that we don't always agree make you  suspect otherwise.

Back at ya.

My definition was from a dictionary.  Those definitions are supposed to reflect common usage.  So don't blame me.  Blame either everyone else who speaks English, or the folks who wrote the definition.

Actually, one CAN cheat physics.  One way is through imagination.  Another way is to leave this world.  The latter can happen, conveniently, if you place your vehicle in front of an approaching train.

You didn't sincerely believe that the laws of physics were in jeopardy, did you?

"There's alway somethin'", to quote a famous someone.

I just read another article about particle physics.  THERE'S a lawless land.  Sort of.

Below, W. C. Fields in has chapter of the movie "If I had a Million":

 

 

In it, he delivers the great line:  "How did you like that, you great snorting roadhog!"
