If only we could know how many times the mistake showed up in a physics paper from all levels of education.

To be fair, I minored in math, alongside of my Aerospace major. Between those two things, you'd think I'd be set to figure out this problem.

I just failed at the reading part, not the math-ing/physics-ing part, lol.

Geez, I think he understands the difference between radius and diameter. It’s elementary geometry. Sometimes people have brain farts. No need to get all high and mighty.

I would have bet it would have gotten fixed by tomorrow. Throughout the years I've edited quite a few random wiki pages and there was always a response within 24 hours, admittedly it was usually to restore it to the previous edit

Check out the reversions on political figures. You see people fighting over facts that make them look bad/good.
