Inertial damping is very real and there are many boffins currently trying to apply it in military aircraft.Because it's not real ?
Star Trek not real! Good grief man you'll be denying we have a Stargate programme next! 😁

I'd say that cockerels haven't evolved much since captive living for them began around 2500 years ago. In pre- hen coop/allotment days they had very loud mating calls to attract hens that lived miles away. 🤔Why, when the Cockerel's call is so loud in the hen coop, are the hens not deaf ?

How do you know they aren't?Why, when the Cockerel's call is so loud in the hen coop, are the hens not deaf ?

Cos you cannot sneak past them if their food bowl makes a rattle. Despite being old they have excellent hearing.How do you know they aren't?

I bought this book today in a charity shop. It's a bit hard to see but It's about King George the 5th's 25 years on the throne (he died the following year by the way). Anyway, what I want to know is why when I take pictures on my phone do some, pictures turn out sideways or upside down?🤔

It only does it when I'm taking pics of photos. Notice the pic' of the book cover isn't upside down or on its side. If I take a pic' of an old family photo it has I'd say a 60/40 chance of not being the right way up. I've even photoed photos upside down trying to confuse the camera, but even then they don't come out the right way up. They're still upside down. 🤔My phone started doing this, no idea!
