if you jump from 2nd floor, speed at arrival is not double that a jumping
from 1st floor as it take less time from floor 1 to 0 than from 2 to 1 , but
energy is double as you need double energy to go up 2 floor than 1 , so
energy increase more rapidly than speed i/e Energy>mv;

You didn't read the page. His thesis is that energy should be measured
as mv, not 1/2 mv^2. He claims that mv, and not 1/2mv^2 is conserved. He
uses rockets in a stationary reference frame to prove this (but doesn't
seem to take the kinetic energy of the fuel into account).
