This is related to my post a few days ago titled "Drag Problem."
No one was interested in a basic discussion of fluid dynamics
then, so why should anyone be interested now?

But the presentation itself is garbage.  The video medium is essentially
pre-literate in nature and appeals only to those dumb-fuck idiots
who have a serious problem with reading.  (Could this be why
Wormley favors Youtube?)

The substance of this video verifies this assertion as we witness
a totally ineffective graphical explanation of the Magnus effect
(if you didn't know before you won't know afterward) as well as a group
of adult males howling like retarded juveniles as they watch
a basketball being dropped from a great height (big deal).

Wormley shows the true state of his literacy with this post.
