Yep, you read correctly.

Enjoy.

PS: I really wasn't sure where to post a thread like this, at first.

This is pretty neat. I have no words, as I'm not studying physics.

[Kaizaki]

Seconded. Bookmarked to read later, for fun and as a Physics 'refresher'. :)

[Starxsword]

Nice. I will probably read that sometime.

I like how it portrays magic in Gensokyo as being science and sufficiently advanced technology, but the scarlet sisters are still immortal winged rapscallions.
Guess the flying-controlled-by-limb-position thing would explain why Rumia just sticks her arms out parallel to the ground when flying, what with the alternative being the human pretzel technique.
Plus, I guess that'd make Mystia an Iron Maiden, hyuk hyuk hyuk.

Yes, those Scarlet sisters... Who knows, maybe they possess the necessary biological processes which repair their chromosomal telomeres to slow/prevent aging.

Curiously, relating to Rumia's method of flight, this hints towards the notion of how genetics can play a role in determining how the iron fibers are first developed (ie in what orientations are they present within the skeletal structure).

I really appreciate the responses and questions the video and paper have received thus far.

Apologies for the double post, but an important update has been made with the paper.

Recently, Appendix B has been updated, with the addition of a Stage 3 diagram.
Its aim is be to better surmise the energy schemes related to explaining both Danmaku and Flight.
(Stage 3 diagram, aka the Danmaku-Flight Energy Scheme [DFES]).
A few other minor corrections here and there have been made.

Impressive though I haven't start reading it yet. I like how you explain about Flandre's wings, Sakuya's ability, Danmaku and other touhou stuff with science. So I wonder if you would make more of this. Maybe explain about Marisa's mini-Hakkero for instance.


PS: Just for fun. You could name your paper ' A Certain Magical and Scientific Gensokyo' or ' Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Gensokyo'

Another update again, this time to correct for a silly oversight with regards to some extra mass, contributed by the iron fibers for flight.
I'll make a point of posting future updates only in the youtube comments section from here on out (avoid spam).
