Do you Know why an aircraft flies?
(Bernoulli or Newton?)

Because it's faster than a train or automobile which are both faster than by foot.  Because both Bernoulli and Newton can get to New England much faster than if they didn't have airplanes to fly in.

If it goes up or stays up: Bernoulli.
If it comes crashing down: Newton.

Great! Xvimbi, this is the more convincing explanation about the physic of flight I ever red.
Try to image a captain saying to passengers something likethat: "Ladies and gentleman, because of the well-known law by Newton, we are going down!"

if an aircraft goes up: Bernoulli>Newton
if an aircraft stays up: Bernoulli=Newton
if an airplane goes down: Bernoulli<Newton

BTW, the question struck me unexpectedly.... ::)

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
