Relativity

Check out: http://www.physics.ubc.ca/%7Ewaltham/air/FwB.pdf
Let me sumarize for YOU. The title speaks for itself, "Flight without Bernoulli." Then to the point, "Birds and aircraft fly because they are constantly pushing AIR downwards."

Now which way was that 100 mph baseball headed and which way was the air pushing back? Didn't Katrina's and Rita's winds devestate the lower GULF coast this past summer. There is a big difference between 70 mph and 100 mph WINDS. Someone needs to consider AIR viscosity, pressure, temperature and density in them, there winds too.

All I have read about gravity and spin could take place in DENVER during the winter. How many people can throw a curveball (millions) compared to 100 mph fastball (15)? Oh you can make it curve, but YOU cannot make it rise. Why must you insist so damn hard that the few who CAN are really no different than YOU? They can make it RISE because they can throw it a lot harder than YOU.

For entertainment, this article about the flight charcteristics of a bumble bee comes to mind.
