How does this thing actually work? Has science actually explained

Uhhhhhhh, how do you mean?

Holy shit shut the fuck up! The boomerang is one of the few objects that can aerodynamically work only because the earth is flat, being the ultimate proof of what we already all know but (((they))) want to hide.

DELETE THIS THREAD RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

>>8974317
wow dude you're like a comedian! so fucking funny.

>>8974316
Obviously I'm referencing the fact that science doesn't know how bicycles work.

You throw it and it comes back

>>8974316
We don't know what the fuck is out there!

But how?

>>8974312
>how do they work
They don't actually return to you like they do on TV.....

>>8974440
Because it's a boomerang

>>8974441
But that's wrong...

If the earth was round, boomerang would appear to fly in a straight line from the perspective of a reference frame stationary with respect to the boomerang

Did you actually read the linked article? The researchers found that the trail, front assembly CoM, and front wheel gyro all contribute to and are required for stability. If anything, it shows that the scientific method still applies to items as common and trivial as the bicycle.
Look at the design section on Wikipedia if you want to know why boomerangs curve; it's relatively simple.

What did he mean by this?

Wrong.

>"There are other ways to distribute the mass and get self-stability without gyro or trail," Ruina noted.

It uses sky magic to defy gravity and only returns if the tree spirit has been honoured, like most flying sciency things

>>8974555
I've seen that paper before, but they don't actually explain how it steers into the curve if it doesn't have trail. But the steering axis is still at an angle, so I guess that's it.

Wrong again blet

>>8974312
>what is the magnus effect

>>8975046
So how does it steer into the fall then?

>>8974444
Boomerangs in the snow doesn't seem right.
