Having learned to apply topology to kites, lets classify multi-line power kites essentially as arch kites. A two-line kite on a kite bar is the same topology as a kite arch, where the ground itself is the "kite bar," and these are the same as the famous coffee mug and donut. Further, figure-eight and pretzel knots are quite common in kites and their dynamics.

We therefore know that engineered topological matter already exist as kites, even as mainline physicists speculate  "we are still a ways from technological applications"

When is a coffee mug a donut? Topology explains it.

And: ....
Topological Kite Matter as pre-existing, merely waiting to be identified, is the meme that's been wanted to go big with the Physics Community. I have been assembling a mailing list that includes various Laureates. BTW, Schiller was properly thrilled by Ropin' Fool.

Amazingly, the Kite first gave us stoke, then resolved the biggest mysteries of modern physics. Bohmian physics was on the right track, but its not just a simple pilot-wave that determines QM, but a vast intricate Dirac Sea, as a pilot-wave field, that makes the kite dance just so.

Who really invented Paragliding? (BC 7/3/2020)

Runner-up: Poseidon

Winner:          gocomics.com/bc/2020/07/03

It's suddenly mainstream knowledge that spiders "balloon," a practice that dates back uncounted millions of years on Earth. Paragliding has likely been widely known across the Universe for a few billion years.
