A bokeh? I didn't know that word. So I looked it up on the ever-reliable internet. And found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh I just...
The table itself? I'm not up to speed on the history of chemistry, but there were probably earlier versions of the table and the one in today's...
I don't either. Assuming that the UAPs, or at least some subset of them, are indeed aircraft (I don't want to jump to that conclusion, but it remains...
It's a crashed flying saucer, that came from another planet!
Yes. That's precisely why I wrote earlier that the "UAP Preliminary Assessment" was a epochal document, despite its (intentional) vagueness and...
If modern radars weren't highly reliable (if not always 100% perfect), then the military wouldn't rely on radar to locate and track enemy aircraft in...
I don't know. I'm tempted to call upon F = MA and define it in terms of mass and acceleration. Except that we would need a definition of mass, and...
I'm inclined to agree with Sarkus on this one. It isn't an engineering problem, it's more fundamental than that, more of a physics problem. When...
Paging Mr. Ramp or Mr. Catapult!
The way I heard it, naval exercises were being held in the Atlantic somewhere east of Norfolk VA. And day after day, multiple strange radar contacts...
True, otherwise we wouldn't use them (eyes and cameras) as often as we do. I'm not sure that I want to say that. I don't want to say that the...

That does create a bit of a conundrum. The airplane's wheels would have to be turning faster than the belt in order to take off (belt speed + takeoff...
I don't think that would matter very much. The thing is, the engine imparts force to the body of the plane. The wheels just spin. So even if the...
It's all about airflow over the wings. 1. So if the plane was sitting on the conveyor belt, and the belt was carrying the plane in the direction of...
I knew somebody was going to post that!
F-15's don't fly from carriers. I can imagine a pilot who launches from long runways with a full takeoff roll being a little nervous about launching...
It's all a matter of airspeed. In conventional aircraft takeoffs, the aircraft accelerates down the runway until it reaches takeoff velocity and then...
Yes, in a way. Somebody asked this very question in the Q&A column of this month's Astronomy magazine. It's a very good question, since if photons...
