----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Cox To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 1:27 AM Subject: Bernoulli was: Relativity is wrong thought experiment I'm cutting out most of the relativity stuff, my views having been expressed before and in general agreement with John's. On Bernoulli, the reason pressure decreases with speed is readily apparent when one considers the source of pressure.   Pressure is the aggregate force per unit area of the molecules from a fluid or gas striking a surface.  If the fluid is in motion, then these impacts are spread out over a greater area and the aggregate force is reduced.  No funky relatavistic effects required.   Merlyn John Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: [snip] Now, one thing on my mind, that few seem to consider is the Bernoulli effect being considered as physics not just fluid dynamics. Simply stated, the faster a fluid moves, it's pressure drops. But how can it's pressure simply drop? It must actually shrink or experience width contraction? and moving relative to what? And if fluids shrink (experiences significant width contraction when they move) then why wouldn't solid matter? (unless fluids don't entrain the aether but solids do) Oh is the Bernoulli not real after all?
