Trust me, his theory has so many holes that its beginning to smell alot like Swiss cheese. I really hope not to offend, but to educate.

"This model has not been validated experimentally"

"Anyone can prove that a body moving in air goes the opposite direction of the deflected air, which conserves momentum."

"The principle of conservation of momentum requires that the ball have downward momentum, which makes it go down."

I don't want to take away from your friend's accomplishments. Afterall, he has already published this article in the American Scientist. I only wish some other American scientists would have been a little more skeptical before the article went public.

But how could he miss the location of the seperation points? One and four o'clock are way out of whack. Take a look at the streamline photo. A child would tell the seperation points lie at twelve and five oclock.

Why five and not six? LIFT!

Hey, isn't Roger throwing the two-seamer? That is one beautiful picture. I will save that article just for his picture.
