www.meignorant.com said:A plane equipped with fixed horizontal engines and wheel landing gear is placed on a huge treadmill runway. The treadmill has a clever design and always matches the speed of the plane, but runs in the opposite direction. Will the plane take off and fly or not?
If the plain will fly it will be against all laws of physics....
It will not fly, stop the thread. Or lets discuss this to death...
einsteins therory would hold very true that for every action, ther is an oppositee reaction.
My god, this thread was unbelievably frustrating to read. The original poster must feel pretty dumb.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity said:General relativity (GR) is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915.[1][2] It unifies special relativity and Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with the insight that gravitation is not due to a force but rather is a manifestation of curved space and time, with this curvature being produced by the mass-energy and momentum content of the spacetime. General relativity is distinguished from other metric theories of gravitation by its use of the Einstein field equations to relate spacetime content and spacetime curvature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity said:The special theory of relativity was proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein in his article "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". Some three centuries earlier, Galileo's principle of relativity had stated that all uniform motion was relative, and that there was no absolute and well-defined state of rest; a person on the deck of a ship may be at rest in his opinion, but someone observing from the shore would say that he was moving. Einstein's theory combines Galilean relativity with the postulate that all observers will always measure the speed of light to be the same no matter what their state of uniform linear motion is.
