Scientific American's podcast explores the theoretical gaps in explaining how airplanes stay in the air, citing the incomplete nature of Bernoulli's and Newton's theories. The segment mocks the publication for struggling with basic aerodynamics while having previously claimed to understand the complex collapse of WTC7. The discussion frames the report as part of a broader trend of anti-intellectualism in legacy science media.
CBS Mornings, Airfoil and Bernoulli Confusion
The hosts critique a segment on the new CBS Mornings third hour where hosts Tony Dokoupil and Adriana Diaz expressed confusion over how airplanes fly. Despite bringing in an aerospace expert to explain Bernoulli's principle and airfoils, the hosts remained baffled. Curry and Dvorak use this as an example of the declining intelligence of mainstream media personalities.
