Lost Definition and 576 Threads

"Lost!" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. It was co-produced with Brian Eno and Markus Dravs for the band's fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The song was released on 10 November 2008 as the third official single from the album to generally positive critical reviews. A live version was released via download following a performance of the band and Jay-Z at the 2009 Grammy Awards, spurring high digital sales and giving "Lost!" a new peak at number 40 in the United States.
Several official versions of the song exist, including vocalist Chris Martin's separate recording with a piano accompaniment (known as "Lost?") which appears as a B-side for "Violet Hill", and a rap rock version that features Jay-Z (known as "Lost+") which appears on their 2008 EP Prospekt's March. The accompanying music video to the single features a live performance of the band in the United States. Coldplay launched a contest through their website, in which fans submitted self-made music videos. The winning entries were posted on the band's website.
The song was used in the 2010 film The Way, and was also included in NBA 2K14.

    I seem to have lost all interest in physics

    Hi. I'm getting my degree this year, and I seem to have lost all interest in learning physics. I don't feel like studying any more, I just don't see the point in it. I was fine when this semester started, I felt very motivated and I even started reading up the recommended bibliography before...

    Can a Lost Spaceship Navigate Back to Earth in the Milky Way?

    Let's say a spaceship from Earth (via a wormhole or something) suddenly found itself in a random place in the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming the crew possesses all of our current knowledge of the galaxy, and time was not a factor, would they be able to locate where our Sun is, and travel back to it?

    Understanding Energy Loss to Heat and Friction in Bouncing Objects

    If a ball is dropped on a table it doesn't bounce back at the same height. Is this because some energy is lost to heat? If so, is this an example of friction, or is friction only when objects are being rubbed together?

    Does the work done by friction include the energy lost as heat in a system?

    So friction as a nonconservative force, is path dependent when it comes to how much work is lost from a system right?
