Meanwhile, the poor stick figure who jumped off the diving board thinking he'd follow a perfect parabolic trajectory (y = ½gt²) is about to experience the cold, wet reality of fluid dynamics. Captain Kirk's reaction is all of us when we realize our elegant theoretical models fall apart the second they meet the real world. First-year physics students, I'm pouring one out for your homework solutions tonight.
