This morning on my trip to drop kids off at school my son asks me if there is a "real controversy" about how airplanes fly. He's referring to explanations about airplane flight in terms of "Bernoulli's Principal" vs "Newtonian" explanations. I told him that there really isn't a controversy among physicists and mechanicians who have thought about the problem, but that the Bernoulli explanation persists because incorrect science often persists long after its been debunked. 1/n #physics #fluids
