Just speaking for myself and a few friends, I'm a paramedic and two of my partners are also in the medical field. My best friend is a chemist, and another partner just got out of KSU and he is a philosophy major. We're all guys.

I'd like to see that proof done. It's on my list of 'things i'd like to see proven' right up there with Bernoulli's Principle.

What part of Bernoulli's principle do you not consider proven? It is a statement of the conservation of energy along a streamline. I at least would consider its derivation quite rigorous.

Everyone knows that it happens so it is a principle. No one knows why. Would you care to explain to me why faster moving fluids exhibit a lower preassure? I'm pretty sure that hasn't been done. At least I've been taught that it hasn't and haven't heard otherwise. Well, lat me clarify that 'proven' word. It has been derived mathematically and theoretically but disproven repeatedly in wind tunnels.

Which is probably why there are 5 pages of Bernoulli correlations in Perry's. If if it was just a conservation equation, you could just plug and chug.

VP of Operations for a technologies company. Not a true geek but I have to manage a bunch of them :D

I donīt think Iīve seen meteorologists yet!
Soon to be anyway, I am going be screwed if I do actually get a job because I really donīt like working with computors!

My older brother who I climb with has a pretty peculiar job status....
is a professional dog musher in the winter and builds trails in the summer.
(with a geo degree from an Ivy league school!)

But really Iīve climbed with a lot more jobless bums than computor people! So iīd be more tempted to ask:
Are all climbers jobless bums?

Right now I qualify as the jobless bum category...

I will soon be a jobless bum when I seperate from the military soon. Then it is climbing all the time!

He just told you why: conservation of energy.

The link you posted is irrelevant.

In reply to:
BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE has been proven mathematically several times and disproven over and over in wind tunnel tests. The question still exists as to how the theory was adopted at all since Bernoulli himself died 123 years before the Wright brothers took the first powered flight in 1903. Most experts concur that this principle has the most flaws and the most followers. Go figure.

He's talking about using Bernoulli's principle to explain aerodynamic lift, not its validity in general. Do you have poor comprehension skills, or did you just not read what you linked?

I'm a math major...although I'll probably end up teaching high school calculus if I don't make $1 million solving the Rhiemann Hypothesis. :wink:

Improve your spelling before teaching high school students:

"Riemann Hypothesis" you know like "Riemann surface" or "riemannian geometry" after the German mathematician, G.B.F. Riemann.

Cheers,

P.S.

I work at the L.A. Zoo doing construction. I work with concrete and anything that has to do with masonary. I also do my share of rough carpentry. I also boulder in the chimpanzee exhibit when there not there. I have a full time job, but manage to climb twice during the week at Stoney Point. On the weekends I climb out at Joshua Tree all the time. Will be there this weekend. Armando (Pasadena)

I'm a newbie climber with mainly gym experience(In Gainesville, FL there isn't much else) I am currently employed by a dive product manufacturer doing quality control work. Though my main goal is to become graphic designer and/or rock star. :lol:
I'm taking my first trip in May to do some bouldering in North Carolina. I love the sport and look forward to learning more and more every day.
