Turbulence Explained
- Turbulence is caused by unpredictable air currents that push and pull aircraft.
- Scientists are trying to understand these currents using the Navier-Stokes equations.

- Bikes exhibit self-stability, remaining upright even without a rider when pushed forward.
- Neither the gyroscopic effect nor the caster effect fully explains this phenomenon.
