Hi Brian,
I notice you are in the Phillipines.
After long effort and observation and repeatable experiments using the scientific method scientists verified the Bernoulli principle. Engineers used this principle and again after long periods of experimentation they designed an aeroplane wing which allows aeroplanes to stay in the air.
Hi Paul, you are correct that I am in the Philippines. You are not correct that wings allow airplanes to stay in the air. As a retired commercial pilot here I speak with some authority. It is controlled power that keeps an airplane in the air. Reduce an aircrafts speed below the safe minimum airspeed for that aircraft and you are going to fall down and go boom. Might I suggest that science demands a repeatable and verifiable test result to reduce the probability of having a different effect noted. but i do not believe any scientist would suggest that the chance for a different result is absolute zero. It matters not if it is science or religion at one point or another both world views require a leap of faith because there is always that little nagging doubt or possibility that what you believe just ain't so. Like the old song has it ' the stories your liable to read in the bible just ain't necessarily so.' Physics is now once again in search of the Holy grail of a unified theory because any and all theories today fall apart when pushed to hard.
I will say it again there are no 'facts' in science just things that more or less explain what we experience.
Brian
