Inertial damping is very real and there are many boffins currently trying to apply it in military aircraft.
Star Trek not real! Good grief man you'll be denying we have a Stargate programme next! 😁

I'd say that cockerels haven't evolved much since captive living for them began around 2500 years ago. In pre- hen coop/allotment days they had very loud mating calls to attract hens that lived miles away. 🤔

Cos you cannot sneak past them if their food bowl makes a rattle. Despite being old they have excellent hearing.How do you know they aren't?

I bought this book today in a charity shop. It's a bit hard to see but It's about King George the 5th's 25 years on the throne (he died the following year by the way). Anyway, what I want to know is why when I take pictures on my phone do some, pictures turn out sideways or upside down?🤔

If the plural of mouse is mice, why is the plural of computer mouse mouses? 🤔

I've bought a Christmas Hyacinth plant. With there hardly being any 'power' in the sun/daylight this time of year, will it grow as quickly in a north facing window as it would in a south facing one? 🤔

It only does it when I'm taking pics of photos. Notice the pic' of the book cover isn't upside down or on its side. If I take a pic' of an old family photo it has I'd say a 60/40 chance of not being the right way up. I've even photoed photos upside down trying to confuse the camera, but even then they don't come out the right way up. They're still upside down. 🤔

I know whats going on, it only does it with mine when trying to take pictures of objects, we actually think we are holding the phone level but we must be holding it with the bottom of phone slightly tipped up making the phone think its upside down and turning the picture the right way up which is actually the wrong way up.
