Unique theories presented at AIAA meeting
The Tennessee Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics held an Originality Symposium Oct. 30 at the University of Tennessee Space Institute, during which original scientific theories were presented. Many attended this meeting to witness the interesting, and at times humorous, presentations. The presenters were Eric Jacobs with a theory entitled, “Dreams of Oberth: Rapid Solar Escape through the Sun”; Monty Smith with, “Evolutionary Mysteries Regarding Native Avian Species in Southern Middle Tennessee”; Taylor Swanson with the “Scientific Analysis of ‘Ghostbusters’”; and Robert Hiers with “The Pros and Cons of Gelatinous Ursidae as Humidity Sensors.” AIAA members pictured left to right are Taylor Swanson, Robert Hiers, AIAA Section Chair Joseph Sheely, Eric Jacobs and Monty Smith.
