Reply to comment by LeechBydeGrunFretter in A database of paper airplanes with easy to follow folding instructions by widowild

I haven't thought about folding paper airplanes in a lot of years. But I went and looked over the page after your comment, and as it turns out I used to fold something really similar. The main difference being, I didn't cut any corners in step one, and folded the two top corners all the way to the center fold in step four. Then folded that triangle that's left over the folds from step four.

I hadn't thought about that in as long as I can remember.

That's exactly backward. Electromagnetism is much better understood than gravity. In a way you could say we don't understand either at a fundamental level, but the way you're using that idea here is just taking the fact that there's always more to discover, and trying to enlarge it into a false narrative of exaggerated ignorance.

Scientist here (completely unaffiliated with scite). I haven't tried this feature, but use scite.ai occasionally - though I haven't bothered to get a subscription. It's a fairly helpful tool; finding dissenting opinions is tedious to do manually, and it does a pretty good job of exposing any controversy about a certain result.

I hope they get some traction.
