There are all kinds of things posted on this DF that respond scientifically to your question. Maybe you can find them in the archives. But young & Ramon really make salient points.
Ramon, i never knew that about airplanes. I always wonder how a plane can fly when i'm on one. It still feels like a mystery to me and now i find out it really still is. They say we know almost nothing about how our brains function. My guess is that the key lies in understanding what the word mystery implies. The Greeks had their mystery religions and all cultures have their esoteric practices. I just can't get over the fact that people, scientists, can't agree on how a plane flies.
