Well, that Ed Seykota was right about using Bernoulli wrong

Whether or not his Theory of Radial Momentum was correct I am still unsure though. Some of you will remember the thread I wrote back in 06 which was recently, and apparently a bit fortuitously, bumped.

Well it appears Cambridge scientists have proven that Bernoulli's principle is incorrectly used to explain lift. Here is the article, the video, and the paper.

Cambridge scientists didn't prove anything (in this case). All they did was make a video explaining what has been known for a long time. Also, Bernoulli's principle can be used to "explain" lift on a wing, it just has nothing to do with the distance the air has to travel.

Please forgive my misstatements. In my haste to post I did not choose my words as carefully as I should.
