Corrected entry: Jumping as high as you want, and making someone bounce on a wall, or solid floor is not possible. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed. A basketball doesn't bounce because pressurized air inside creates kinetic energy, it bounces because the pressurized air inside converts more potential energy into kinetic energy. While energy can be converted, it cannot be created or destroyed.

Correction: The movie never implies they're creating energy. Philip is looking to create a new energy source. If we suspend our disbelief that Philip was able to animate a completely inanimate substance, we can accept that liquid flubber converts energy at a spectacular rate. It could be a combination of chemical energy and stored energy, that is, the substance itself compresses like a spring.
