The plane took off.
Though some feel the experiment was flawed, as, for a conveyor, they used a tarpaulin dragged in the opposite direction to that of the plane by a pick-up.

If the only thing that exsists are the two glasses that means there's no gravity or for that matter time doesn't exsist either so they'll never touch, but as time doesn't exsist "never" and " instantanious" are the same thing , but if their universe was created the same as ours then they have already been together formed as it were at the same point and moment at that first quantum level of their big bang
Actually scrap all of that , I really don't give a rat's ass there are real problems aplenty to sort out in the real world.
It took off:

Its very amusing the lengths some people will go to prove this when its obvious the plane will take off.
It wont if the plane wheels and belt speed match.

This biz bout the belt speed matching etc I have had trouble understanding. In my little head I assumed a lot of stuff about relative velocities (blah blah) relative to each other. This week I've worked for a bloke in Southsea ( I Cooper) who has a Masters in fluid dynamics and other stuff I can't remember the name of. I was sad enuff to ask him bout this question, paying particular attention to Mr Scruffs stipulation on wheel speed etc. He chuckled, rolled back on the settee and explained that of course the plane would take off. However if the wheel speed was not allowed to exceed the conveyor it was impossible.
DIA you were right. I must learn to stop questioning things.
On a positive note I've increased my deadlift by a few kilos this week and accepted my place in the peckin order of intellygents.
Thats why it's called the thinking thread Mitch.
Of course the plane can take off, until you throw a spanner in the works, then no-one can see past the simplicity and start getting all technical and add jumbo jet engines, free wheeling wheels, air over the wings and whatever else is not relevant.
