Are there any other scientists on the forum?

Well, I hate to say that I have a BSME and a masters in military stuff, but I do. Mechanical Engineers say that they are the Swiss Army knives of engineers, and from my point of view, we are for the most part. Especially when we come from a USAF civil engineering background. We had to take courses in every other engineering field to get our degrees. I transitioned to forensic engineering many years ago and routinely testify in court about so many issues in municipalities that I am considered an expert witness. I have done Federal, state and local municipalities cases and trial testimonies. It seems to me that this country is going down the pooper shoot, as the legal system does not believe in common sense. May God help us all!

I would hate to think what an 'expert' witness would think of someone that has a 3 year apprenticeship in such a 'thing' as being a machinist is. Most 'kaint' even 'speeel' machinist and some machinists can't speeele it either lol

Science is ever evolving. Most scientists I know have no problem throwing out the old and accepting the new. It wasn't that long ago when we didn't understand plate tectonics. Now I'm fascinated by dark energy and dark matter. which makes up most of the universe. The reason I love geology and cosmology is wrapping my head around the time scales involved. Humans think of time in hundreds of years, maybe a millennia but try to picture a billion years. No compendia.

Yes, I can't find the bolt I just removed from the engine bay.

My roughnecks loved me. One had "I LOVE STEVE THE GEO" printed on his hardhat.
 
I'm no scientist, but know
full well how to implement
in a real life environment,
the fruits of their labors.

Not a single soldiers life has
been lost since this cab was
engineered.
We were hard pressed to see
this done. Given with older
technologies, our troops
were vunerable in combat
situations of the time.
 
B.Sc. in Zoology but never found meaningful employment in my field...got into I.T. almost 30 years ago and never looked back, but no regrets studying science, it teaches one to be logical, analytical, skeptical but always factual.

Well, it use to... These days they tell us the science has been decided so don't question it...

Very true, but these days people can't even define what a woman is...and social media and the internet in general has become the biggest echo chamber for the myriad conspiracy theorists to flourish...confirmation bias these days is a major problem. Idiots everywhere are able to find anything they're looking for to support their flawed views, mainstream media and big corporations are only making the problem worse, and smartphones just seem to make people dumber. :lol:
 
I guess with some science results you'd better find out who is funding it. How many times have we been lied to about the earth heading for a disaster and it doesn't happen. That's why I love math. It's the language of the gods. 2+2 still equals 4 even on another planet. Unless you're a race hustler then math is racist.

Have you been introduced to the "New Math"??? Tried to help the grandson with his homework.... My math and new math have little in common....

Two plus two always equals four....unless you jump to conclusions, then it becomes seventeen.

Not sure why, but 17 is the number. :lol:
 



Because 318 divided by 17 is 18-12/17

Wut?
Did you get that formula from For318'sOnly.com ??? That sounds like the sort or equation useful for porting and polishing a HiPo 318 with a 2-BBL running a slushmatic and 2.94 gears.

I wonder if anyone here has actually needed to use a quadratic equation to solve a problem? :rolleyes:
