- daveguy 1y agoTurns out teachers are people and general understanding evolves over time and not all at once. Who would have guessed. Well, Laplace maybe.

- roelschroeven 1y agoThe Bernoulli principle is not bullshit -- it is very valid physics. You might be thinking the way it's often used to wrongly explain how airplane wings generate lift. Yeah, that's bullshit. I mean, the principle still applies, if applied correctly. The equal transit bullshit that it's often associated with, well yes, that's complete and utter bullshit.
