I can remember, as a child, being fascinated by bumblebees. I would watch them intently as they bumbled from flower to flower. Their buzzing wings always appeared to struggle in their effort to keep them in the air.
One day my dad said that an engineer had told him that it’s theoretically impossible for bumblebees to be able to fly.
Later in life, as a young adult, and still fascinated with bumblebees, I came to realize it was theoretically possible that bumblebees don’t give a damn about what humans think as they go about their business, defying the laws of aerodynamics.
It is theoretically possible that you could defy the laws boredem and make it dramatic if you changed the perspective of the point of view.
I like it, very stream of consciousness 🙂
Nice comment on a phenomenon that has astounded many of it. I like the notion that bumblebees could care less about our theories!
Opps! …”astounded many of it…” should read “…astounded many of us…” Sorry ’bout that.
