Wow, I took a class from Paul Steinhardt when I was starting my PhD in physics at Penn.

I think it was in him in his class who asked us how planes flew. I raised my hand and said the Bernoulli principle. He showed how despite schools teaching it forever, it couldn't be right. Otherwise planes couldn't fly upside down but they do.
