426. Creative Evolution
     Summary: All of these factors explain how the plane functioned in the earth's atmosphere, yet they also explain why the Wright Brothers built the plane the way they did. The Wright Brothers studied birds in flight and paid very close attention to how the birds flexed their wings when turning in the air, but had a very difficult time figuring out how they could make their plane turn in the air. Physics can explain why birds can fly, but what physics cannot explain is how nature could figure out …
