The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Lift (force)". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 31 March 2015.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.
I saw you brought up the "new math" on the 0.999... talk page. It's a fascinating topic, isn't it? It was probably doomed from the start, partly because it didn't take into account young children's limited capacity for abstraction at early stages of cognitive development, but maybe moreso because there weren't enough teachers who understood it, and because parents weren't capable of assisting their kids with it. That's my totally evidence-free speculation and take it for what it's worth.
But given the cultural context of the time, I think it's gone into the popular imagination as touchy-feely "soft" math, which is pretty much the opposite of what was intended, and that's fascinating too. --Trovatore (talk) 18:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mr Swordfish. A couple of days ago I met Dr Graham Wild from the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of New South Wales, Canberra campus. I discovered he has an intense interest in the science of aerodynamic lift and its place in education of engineers and scientists. (Wild's background is as a physicist.)
Wild has recently written an excellent summary of the background to the equal transit time theory. See ETT.
He has also written some other excellent papers on this subject. You might be interested in the following:
His papers are available on open source and can be cited with appropriate attribution. I plan to use them in this way.

Hey. From my research and understanding, adding more lanes for motor traffic doesn't provide long-term benefits because more drivers will want to drive these roads and return congestion levels back to before. I'm approaching my argument from the general anti-car perspective of https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/.
I'd like to better understand how you came to the idea of removing the entry.
Best,
