Priscilla's 2nd Post

After reading Between Rock and a Hard Life, I thought it was pretty cool how young Bernoulli fed off of his fathers equation to come up with one of his own. Even though, it seemed that his father never praised him for all his hard work, Bernoulli never gave up and continued to work hard and did not shy away from math, which was also pretty amazing because I know that if I were in his position I would run from math as quick as I possibly could. Also, in the Epilogue, I found it interesting how Borelli stated that the we would need pectorals twenty times stronger than normal to be able to fly. This theory makes me want to test it out and see if there is any way to actually achieve this goal and be the first human to fly!
