Is the following true? (is there another phenom. like it?)

..... If you throw a handful of sticks in the air
and photograph them

there will be a lot more sticks oriented in the horizontal
plane than in the vertical.

_________________________________________

Here is a simple experiment you can do to prove this:

1. Take a handful of sticks and throw them in the air.

2. Take a photo of the sticks as they are falling.

3. Count the number of sticks that are oriented horizontally and the number of sticks that are oriented vertically.

You will likely find that there are more sticks oriented horizontally than vertically.

----------- What's the ratio like ???

Why are you so hard to ignore?
