    I get annoyed at clickbait titles.

    It’s quite obvious Bernouilli’s theorem is largely correct, even though it does not cover the entirety of why air behaves like this.

    Planes stay in the air because of aerodynamic lift. Planes are designed around this principle and thousands of planes stay in the air because we know this is how it works.

      To be clear I have no idea either way.

      Is this one of those “we know what the principle is (aerodynamic lift) and how to make it work but we don’t know why it works the way it does?”

        No, we know why. There are just certain peculiarities that cannot be explained by the existing theories.

          Maybe I’m misunderstanding some nuance here but it sounds like you’re saying exactly what the person you replied to said.

        The article is much less about the principle, because even it says it is scientifically true. The focus of the article is “we can’t, like, explain it, man!” It’s a really long “how do magnets work” piece.
