So the president is the commander-in-chief... better know something about military science, the powers of all the powerful and horrible weapons on top of dealing with domestic issues and international relations. It is a tough job.
But before everyone simply just laugh at the candidate. How many of these laughing people actually know just how airplane works? How many can tell me Bernoulli's Principle? How many people totally understand that pressure within airplane?
So, rather than rebuking Romney for being stupid this time, I sympathize with him. And I think perhaps our science books should include stuff like this. Rather than endless drills of equations from Newton's 2nd law of that inclined plane, we should include far more interesting questions such as this, and things like why the sky is blue.
Once upon a time I saw this book, and all candidates should read it! Physics for Future Presidents
