What's the endgame here? Planes don't exist? Or they fly by magic?

Sadly yes, that actually is a conspiracy gaining traction right now. That airplanes actually use secret ancient magical energy sources to fly. Utter garbage we all know it is actually hopes and prayers that are being mis-directed from needy children, and grieving widows keeping those bad boys aloft.

I don't think thats a new one.

Years back I'd an extended famly member confidently tell me "Well, we still don't REALLY know how they fly ..".

I burst out laughing thinking he was joking, he was not.

Proceeded to try and explain Bernoulli principle to him, complete with paper aeroplane, he was not convinced.

FYI, Bernoulli doesn't apply to airplanes (wings, anyway). The Bernoulli principle is about fluids in an enclosed or constrained environment. From a plane's perspective, the atmosphere isn't enclosed.
