THIS SPEEDY JET stream across the North Atlantic propelled planes from New York to London yesterday.
The 200 miles per hour jet stream was first noticed by Mashable, which reported a number of flights from New York’s John F Kennedy airport reaching London’s Heathrow airport in about five hours and 20 minutes. This journey normally takes more than six hours.
At one stage, this aircraft was travelling at a groundspeed of 745 miles per hour:
A British Airways flight that departed 40 minutes late from New York still arrived in London 16 minutes earlier than scheduled. It was like magic.
Jet streams are thin bands of fast-flowing air high up in the atmosphere. They move around weather systems and can either help or impede air travel.

This is not new research. Any basic textbook on evolutionary psychology covers this well worn knowledge. Eh what’s new????
Agreed. I’ve read about this exact mechanism many times before. Dawkins discusses it at length. I suspect they ran a bunch of experiments to establish an exact model and it saben picked up as new research.
I remember my parents telling me “Stick out your tongue so I can check you are not telling a lie”. The story behind it was that a black mark appeared on your tongue if you we’re being ‘economical with the truth’!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we all experienced that followed by the drawer flying open and the wooden spoon appearing
