Why does energy behave like water?

June 8th, 2009

as Da Vinci noticed… energy runs over the wings of a plane… like that of a rock in a river…

Water can move in waves of flowing liquid and yet it is made of individual particles, water molecules. Similarly, energy moves as both a wave (electromagnetic) and a particle (photon).

    A lot of energy propagates just like waves.

    I'm not sure Da Vinci knew of "planes" per se.

    BTW, you DO rule. Beautiful and smart, wow.

    We should ask to the pilot of the plane at the times of Da Vinci !!!!!!!
    maybe reading is a good idea

    It doesn't.

    He didn't.

    And he had no means at the time to study laminar flow of air over a wing.

    Whats more, the flow of air over a wing is NOT like that of water, because air is compressible where water is not.
