The air on the "outside" of the umbrella does *NOT* instantaneously
fill the void that is created by yanking the umbrella.


All you need to change the known science of aerodynamics is a wind tunnel.
For example, some of your fellow aerospace scientists use this one:

It's amazing. They even have a supersonic wind tunnel so they can test
their aerodynamic ideas. Not only that, but they have a VR lab nearby that
lets them look at 3D renderings of the wind tunnel results.
