Jun 19, 2020 at 9:42 comment added Guy Inchbald As one who understands the good nature of Yankee jibes in ineffectual defence of driving on the wrong side of the road, I would note that we Brits chose the left in the interests of road safety - to face the oncoming horses and pedestrians. Even today our Highway Code recommends that where there is no pavement (which some understand only as "sidewalks") pedestrians should face the oncoming traffic. More paranoid countries followed the horses in avoiding the oncoming rider's sword arm. But I only ever met rubber bumper cars at the fairground and none had a reverse gear.

Jun 18, 2020 at 18:18 comment added Peter Kämpf @VladimirF: Yes, that makes sense. I replaced them with "parcels of air".
Jun 18, 2020 at 13:06 comment added Vladimir F Героям слава I would really really avoid mentioning molecules at all. Turbulent and laminar flows are all about the continuum. The molecules are completely chaotic in either. Individual molecules start to matter at completely different scales, the mean free path in air is around 70 nm. There is a good reason why fluid parcels or particles were invented en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_parcel
