This is high school science and it came before rocket science! As a matter of fact, Daniel Bernoulli (1700 to 1782), a Swiss mathematician and physicist, developed this science in his theories of fluid mechanics.

It is the very same Bernoulli who developed principles that make every carburetor venturi work.

Science...its not fake news

Methinks that you meant 60°F

Oh dang...good catch! "60F" sounds much more reasonable. lol
