And again you miss the point completely.
The colission is not instant it takes time.
At the initial contact there is no energy transfer.
I try to push the ball.
The ball trys to push me.
As I push the ball I slows down.
As the ball pushes me it slows down.
My energy is expended
Its energy is expended.
The ball stops and I stop.
The ball has half the damage and I have half the damage.
At no time does the ball extend past the the impact point.
It is not pushed back nor does it push forward.
The force of the ball is the same as the force of me, otherwise the impact would move.
Therefore the ball acts like a wall fixed in position and the only force I expend is my own force.
The ball expends its own force in stopping.
Rather that argue until you are blue in the face, why not ask others (ones who are prepared to show proofs or equasions not ones that run and hide) who actually work things like this out for a living.
I have.
