    Time someone gave you the simple truth.

    The reason you 'don't see the point of etc' or understand modern physical explinations is because you are an idiot.

    Sorry if you find this offensive but as a member of the reality based community I have to say if it's covered in feathers and goes quack, it is most likely a duck.

    When someone keeps posting stupid, iodiotic things e.g Darwin was a Nazi, free energy. Well the duck is quacking.

    But dont feel bad lots of people are idiots, idiots are essential to the world economy. Heck I have strong idiot tendancies myself and many on this board can at least be concidered idiot curious.

    So I beg you recognise that you are an idiot and learn to live with it. When you don't understand something think to yourself 'which is more likely, that I'm too stupid to understand or that all modern physics is wrong?'.

    if a normal wing exchange speed into altitude, doesnt do the same a flat wing just by pitching up, then wheres the extra lift?
    Edit: Wrote mine while before I saw your post come up Cajun. Same info, but yours is much more detailed.

    Yes it does do the same, but a flat wing pitched up produces a larger front profile to produce the same amount of lift than a normal wing. So a normal wing produces lift with less drag than a flat wing pitched up.

    Try looking these things up first.

    It's been awhile since the last raaaid post, I was starting to get concerned...

    The fact that Raaaid was not lucky enough to receive the expensive education in top schools that some of us had, doesn't mean he is an idiot and doesn't deserve to be called like that. He doesn't know physics well enough. This, together with his self-admitted need for attention, make him post in this forum to read your opinions about scientific matters that he doesn't understand as well. 1 out of 3 replies to his thread are useful for him. So, he is not the idiot. The idiots are ourselves who insult him and give him free physics crash courses as a reward.

    I think raaaid is rad. A free spirit, man.

    Some good mind expanding stuff, this stuff is, man.

    That doesn't hold a lot of water. I'm mostly self-taught. If I have a question, I research it. If I don't understand something, I ask questions. I don't assume everyone else is a moron or doesn't' know whats going on because I fail to grasp something.

    Raaaid, for one reason or another, has been introduced to penny bottle rockets, and then decided to build a Saturn V with a paper clip and bent screwdriver, without writing, testing or research.

    He utterly refuses to stand on the shoulders of physics giants, scorning the well established building blocks of physics. If he was into quantum mechanics, he might have some leeway. Instead, minor things like "friction" and "conservation of energy" are casually disregarded in the quest to bypass physical laws and arrive at crackpot ideas like free energy.

    A simple difference in efficiency between a flat panel and a chambered shape leads him to conclude that free energy is at work.

    I used to feel the same as you but then he keeps on doing the same thing over and over again. Surly someone refuses to learn from their mistakes is an idiot.
    Also read his posts he doesn't just say 'oh I don't get this.'. Instead there is an undertone of 'I know better than the rest of the world.'.
    It's not about lack of education it's all about an over blown sense of his own 'insight'. The sooner he stops believing this the sooner he can move on and develop.

    Were he simply wrong I would never have called him an idiot but when someone is deliberatly ignorant, well that's different.

    So yes I was harsh........but fair.
