Theoretical physicists and their "simplifying assumptions" strike again! Nothing says "trust me, I did the math" like ignoring air resistance when designing actual aircraft. The pilot's face says it all—pure existential dread before takeoff. Turns out those "negligible factors" become pretty significant when you're plummeting toward Earth at terminal velocity! Physics homework vs. real-world engineering: the eternal battle between "assume a spherical cow" and "please don't let me die in this contraption."
