There is some indication, from application rates among phycisusrs to pass rates on tears, that phycisists find it hsrder to master flying skills than non phycisists.

One hypothesis that explains this that physics emphasis on formal causes of change in detriment of other like teleological, efficient creates a distortion that carried over unconsiously impedes learning flying:

- Hypothesis: Physics primarily focuses on formal causes, neglecting the other three causes essential for mastering complex skills like flying

The Four Causes Framework in Understanding Flight

Physics traditionally emphasizes formal causes-the mathematical relationships, equations, and models that describe flight dynamics. However, Aristotle argued that true knowledge requires understanding all four causes: material, formal, efficient, and final

Formal Causation: The Physicist's Comfort Zone

- The dominance of mathematical models and equations in physics education

- How formal causes explain flight through aerodynamics equations

- The limitations of relying solely on formal understanding

Material Causation: The Neglected Physical Substrate

Physicists may overlook the material cause-the physical properties and substrate of flight learning[7]. The material cause involves the neurological changes that occur through repetitive practice rather than through theoretical understanding[8]. Physical skills develop through embodied practice that creates neural pathways,

Final Causation

Physicists, accustomed to working in a field that has largely eliminated teleological explanations, may struggle with these purpose-oriented aspects of flying.
