The Drosophila Flight Simulator

how much of my income {taken by the point of a gun} payed for this?

[brembs]

@dav61474 Probably none, as this research is being done in Germany, where taxes are not collected by the point of a gun.

[dav61474]

@brembs ok, try not paying your taxes, democrat.

[brembs]

@dav61474 Why would I? In my country, I like what my taxes are paying for, by and large. We have great infrastructure, awesome health and social services, only a small army, great public schools. I'd very much like to keep that as it is, thank you very much. That was one of the good things when I moved back here after I lived in the US: I enjoyed where my taxes went. So no, I won't try to not pay taxes, that would be so counterproductive.

@brembs and who have you been educated by?

[brembs]

@dav61474 Too many to name here. One of them was a Nobel laureate, though, and one the son of a Nobel laureate.

It's great to see this thing in action after reading the papers for a few years!

[cambolsparrow]

it is useful becuz it at least tell us insect makes turn by discretely saccade, not continously

[ohnzee]

omg..... waste of funds.. kidding ^_^V

[xbalboa]

Who actually developed the flight simulator? Heisenberg and friends?

[brembs]

The torque compensator existed before, but his lab, in particular Reinhard Wolf, was a major force in the ongoing development of the flight simulator.

drosophila probably knows something is holding it from the top and all it's doing is trying to get free.lol
