Is there anything worse than learning a useless set of skills with no practical application and that will serve no purpose once you are dead?

How come the velocity of the wind speed in a wind tunnel drops as AoA on a simple is increased?

Could a restriction be caused by aerofoil acting as a crude butterfly valve, or does increasing turbulence of the flow interacting with the boundary layers of the aerofoil and tunnel walls cause the velocity to drop?
Conservation of momentum suggests that the velocity should increase instead of drop.
Any ideas?

Are you talking about the actual inlet flow from the fans, or are you looking at airflow after it's passed the model?

If you're measuring outflow, then yes increased flow separation with angle of attack would probably have some effects on your airspeed.

The wind tunnel I've worked with tares out wall effects. If this is data you've pulled from somewhere like NASA or a decent tunnel, then wall effects probably aren't the cause. If you're working with babbys first wind tunnel, then yeah maybe. Either way you're not giving a lot of details here.
>>
>>8541549
the increase in AoA blocks the air flow, making it harder to travel inside the wind tunnel
then, you need more force to make the air travel at the same speed.

talking about momentum, more energy from the air flow is transferred to the aerofoil with higher AoA, then less energy for the air

A brainlet is someone who hasn't at least read these books.
>>
>>8539919
someone with slightly above average intelligence but overestimates their own worth

anyone who boasts

someone who gets mad at others when they dont understand something

someone who is always insulting other people's intelligence

someone who is more interested in winning an argument or seeming informed than being factually accurate

basically doing anything that smart people tend or at least strive not to do

Ok /sci/ let's have some fun.

Is there a point where it becomes ignorant to continue asking why? I don't mean like stupid stuff that can be Google'd. I mean something like in quantum physics or whatever.

Like gravitational waves, for instance. Right now we're looking for waves, then we'll look for where they come from, then we'll look for why they come from there, then we'll look for what causes the process that causes the process of the formation of gravitational waves, and so on.

When does it become ignorant to keep going? Is there a limit?

Sorry if that was a bad example, but I hope it gets my point across.

I think the limit is when the answers doesn't add anything to science(I.e can't make predictions, can't be verified by experiments, etc)
>>
Depends if it's in an argument or just for your own contemplation

I'd say it's impolite to discount people's ideas about one strata of whyness by trying to go deeper with another why if it's not warranted

It can also drive yourself to nihilism if you do it internally too much. At the core though the issue is an important one since you're really trying to get at the underlying basis of reality, it's just you have to do it in steps and can't dig too hard for answers that won't come

Is it too late for a 25 year old who only got up to calc1 to learn enough to make a living in chasing the commercial fission dream?

Separately, if all I know is highschool level physics, chemistry and calculus, what do I need to start learning to have a comprehensive understanding of fission reactors? are there papers and diagrams and stuff that are public?

No, it only gets harder.

Not many places do pure math research outside academia. You could go to the NSA though and not teach.

If I colonized my guts with oxygen producing bacteria would I be able to live underwater because I wouldn't need lungs?

Intestinal tract has a larger contact area than lungs as well.

I guess you would fart a lot.
Look up at how much gas the intestines absorb every day and how much oxygen you need everyday to survive.
