...physics majors out there, I hear it has to do with the Magnus effect. Or maybe the Bernoulli effect. When it works, it replicates the desired effect of a well-crafted pick-up line: it makes the recipient go weak in the knees...
Before Sept. 11, 2001 it was hard enough to pile down the jetway into the belly of a preposterous flying machine, sit patiently in my seat for enormous jet engines to whir to life with deafening power and then peacefully snooze as Bernoulli cheerily combated the force of gravity for hours on end. My mind found itself wandering down well-worn, if paranoiac paths, imagining images of small pebbles and pigeons being sucked into the intake of the engine directly outside my window and my horror at seeing the entire wing of our plane shudder and detach, tumbling end-over...
Participants saw demonstrations of scientific phenomena, ranging from Bernoulli's Principle to the concept of expanding...
...consider the games as Bernoulli random trials, Harvard has a 6.25 percent chance of winning the championship outright," my math muse pointed out. Who's Bernoulli? It doesn't matter...
