It's official. We've battled this many times, but now we will know the answer coming up in December. Mythbusters is going to do a show on the internet question that involves the plane and the treadmill.

Now, we can do a few things with this:

1. I'm going to make a public poll.
2. Perhaps we should start taking bets on this? Ban bets? Money bets? etc.

Will the plane move forward and take off?

Question:

A plane is sitting on a long treadmill. The treadmill is linked to where it will match the speed of the plane, but in reverse. The wheels on the plane are free rolling. The plane will start its engines and try to take off like it normally would. The treadmill is as long as a normal runway. Will the plane be able to move forward on the treadmill and take off?

Get your answers in now. Vote up! Post your bets in here if you want as well. Good luck!
