| Yeah I know, but you must not know the arguments that are being generated on this subject. Mythbusters is going to do an episode on it, which from my understanding was generated from an argument on another internet forum. Just google "plane" "conveyer belt" together you should find plenty of discussion. I don't think it will fly, evidently there is a large group of people that think it will.

now, back to the seeing the thing. would it not be visible by its lack of visibility? the hole that your mind sees in the counter top would be an interesting place to look for it.

Regarding the black, do you think this substance is darker than the Spinal Tap album cover? Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

| The plane would not fly. The airflow over the wings would not create any lift, as they would remain stationary as would the air. And this object would indeed be invisible if it achieved a reflective index of 0, asno light would be able to reflect off of it and into our eyes. So, now the question is if an object HAD a reflective index of 0 and you DID look at it....what would you see in place of the object? |

| ... | I see, Yall are saying that the engines woudl not be used on the plane. In that case, no, it would not fly. however, if the engines were on and the thrust applied the treadmill, if long enough would not stop the plane from lifting off.
