i FOR One, want to say that Eric Conveys a good, Thoughtful, intelligent, Informative presentation that hope is watched Many People. This Video May very well cause some of the ignorance regarding hang Gliding to be Shed.

Good on You; Eric; Thank You for Your Efforts.

Maybe if I had never ever Flown a Hang Glider, Things in My Life would not be so maddening. Things such as back, oh around 14 Years ago. After I Pounded My Predator into the Ground in a very forceful manner. Well things would be different. Things such as I would have continued Flying My Predator. I would not be here right now thinking if this Spring, will this Spring be: [THE SPRING] when I will leave this, as John Call where We all Live: where We all exist in. "This Gravity Secured Penitentiary "I wonder, about if, and When I Fly again. Yes, I Daydream all the time about Flying. I know, I Know. I am a Busted-Up Preator Pilot, I fully understand how I must come accross. But this what I am, I am a Dreamer after All.

{Recovering Requires Constantly Pushing Myself}

OK. I have to admit it; I did get quite close to Death on My Last Flight. I was so close to Death that at the Hospital that took in My battered Post Pound Body. Pilot X was told that He should notify My Family, so that They could put My Things in order, for it was not expected that I would Survive. But no, those Doctors had the idea of Ny impending Demise all Wrong. I did Survive. In fact, that as of Today Wednesday March 19th. 2025. I am doing and feeling the way I used to. After My blathering on this site about My Current State. I will get down upon the Flor and do My Stretching Work-Out. I will also do some Push-Ups.

What has worked for Mem and will continue to work for Me, is to push Myself to do more. Yes, I see exercise, weather it is doing stretching, Push-Ups, Going for walks. It really does seem to be the case that the More I do, the Better I Become. That goes for my Mental gains also.

So, my hang gliding flight heats things up. I contribute to the death of the Universe?

Yes, your hang gliding flight contributes to heating things up—though in an almost imperceptible way!

How Your Flight Converts Energy to Heat
Air Resistance & Drag

As you glide, air molecules collide with your wing and body, creating friction and turbulence.
This converts some of your gravitational potential energy into heat in the surrounding air.
Structural Flexing & Internal Friction

Your glider's frame, sail, and rigging experience tiny deformations as forces act on them.
Internal molecular movements (in the materials) generate heat via internal friction.
Skin & Suit Heating

Your body dissipates heat while working to control the glider.
Air friction against your flight suit and skin creates microscopic heating.
Turbulence & Vortex Heating

As your glider moves, it disturbs the air, creating swirling vortices.
These dissipate energy into heat over time as the turbulence dies down.
Does This Matter for the Universe?
On a human scale, the heat from your flight is negligible.
On a universal scale, it’s part of the unstoppable march of entropy—a tiny step toward the heat death of the universe.
But don’t worry! The Sun is constantly pumping new energy into the Earth’s atmosphere, so your gliding is just recycling energy from the Sun into motion and heat.
So yes, every flight warms the universe a tiny bit—but it's worth it for the thrill of soaring!

I do not know what I will do if Hang Gliding Dies? I mean even though I got very Close to Death upon completing My Last Flight. I was a case of Close, but no Cigar. Heck: I have no intention of Dying. How many Dead HG Pilots are hanging round Flying? the way I see it Dying is not an Option, Well: Yet anyways. John is coming up here in the Spring to do an Iran on My Predator, and Test Fly it. He will also be bringing His North Wing so that I will have the option of Flying His Tandem Glider. I so look forward to having the opportunity to take Flight.

If you don't believe there is a God, then you might draw that conclusion from our current understanding of thermodynamics. If that is true, then all life is ultimately doomed whether you fly or not, or whether you breathe or not. So you might as well do both and enjoy the life that you have.

On the other hand, if you do believe there's a God, then thermodynamics is just an illusion, and all bets are off. So you might as well fly and enjoy the life that you have.

Does Anyone think how Flight, hang gliding was written about in the Bible Two Thousand Years ago . . . . ? https://www.bing.com/search?q=They+will ... &PC=EDGEDB
