The most extreme manifestations can include panic attacks or vomiting at the mere sight or mention of an aircraft or air travel. Around 60% of people with fear of flying report having some other anxiety disorder. The causes of flight phobia and the mechanisms by which it is maintained were
Irrational number A stronger result is the following: Every rational number in the interval formula_23 can be written either as "a" for some irrational number "a" or as "n" for some natural number "n". Similarly, every positive rational number can be written either as formula_24 for some irrational number "a" or as formula_25 for some natural number "n". It is not known if formula_26 (or formula_27) is irrational. In fact, there is no pair of non-zero integers formula_28 for which it is known whether formula_29 is irrational. Moreover, it is not known whether or not the set formula_30 is algebraically independent over
