{{w|Lunch|Lunch}} is listed as if it was another topic of the TTSLTSWBD, but it probably just means that after discussing airships, the conference will take a break to eat lunch, as many [[1530:_Keyboard_Mash|humans]] usually do.{{Citation needed}} | {{w|Lunch|Lunch}} is listed as if it was another topic of the TTSLTSWBD, but it probably just means that after discussing airships, the conference will take a break to eat lunch, as many [[1530:_Keyboard_Mash|humans]] usually do.{{Citation needed}} | ||
β | + | {{w|Gyroscope|Gyroscopes}} are simple devices consisting of a spinning disc mounted inside three concentric {{w|Gimbal|gimbals}}. The rotational inertia of the disc resists change in orientation, and the gimbals allow it to remain in a single orientation, even when it's mounted to something that's moving. The notion that a disc can remain steady, even when everything around it is moving can be counterintuitive even to those who understand the physical principles. This weirdness has been previously referenced in [[332: Gyroscopes]]. | |
{{w|Butterfly|Butterflies}} fly with an unusual fluttering pattern, which works in part due to the {{w|Ornithopter#Aerodynamics|notoriously complex principles of fluid dynamics}} that may look like uncontrolled fluttering but yet somehow allows the creature to land directly on specific flowerheads to feed. This is not as intuitively understandable as the flight of larger creatures such as birds. | {{w|Butterfly|Butterflies}} fly with an unusual fluttering pattern, which works in part due to the {{w|Ornithopter#Aerodynamics|notoriously complex principles of fluid dynamics}} that may look like uncontrolled fluttering but yet somehow allows the creature to land directly on specific flowerheads to feed.
