Do you have faith in Science ?

???

sorry, thought you were the missus for a momemnt

[ace00]

Yes. I consider my self primarily a rationalist.
Except when I'm not.

[NotAllThere]

I wish they would - I hate flying - never get a wink of sleep even when drugged.

It's a hallucinogenic drug - you're hallucinating that you're awake.

damn that boyle and his principles

Why thank you EO

Now F*** off

Seriously

In a way I have this faith whenever I get in a plane or a car. The idea of several tonnes of plane taking off and travelling at 500+ mph seems counter-intuitive on the face of it. It is easier to believe in when it's empirically proved all the time of course.

They say planes fly due to aerodynamics. Sho how can planes fly upside down?

and did you know that some planes fly south for the winter?

Or is that ducks I get confused sometimes

There are less planes needed in winter - but I thought they went to a desert in Navada?

Do you have faith in Science ?

would you risk your life based upon your understanding of a scientific principle ?

One thing you could do is to hurl oneself onto one wire of a 400,000 volt supergrid pylon, on the basis that according to physics you shouldn't be electrocuted if you are in contact with one side of ths supply only.

That would be a good test of faith in science.

Birds do it every day

Not on 400kV lines they don't... they don't like the corona discharge...

Shhh! Maybe I can convince someone to try it
