I used to admire physicists in a big way for their big ideas and
fascinating concepts. These days they just seem like nutty professors

deliver on much. The daydreamers that don't seem to ever give you a
straight answer about anything. Sure we can fold space or make a
lightsaber in maybe a hundred years.
The "nutty professors" have provided the engineers and applied
scientists the means of constructing the technology that makes you
prosperous and safe.

Sure. Thanks for the A-bonb. What have you done for us lately, Bob?

I was thinking more in terms of CDs, computers, modern cars, electronics,
weather forecasting, global satellite navigation systems, cell phones...
you know, the stuff you use, Jade.

Oh yeah, like physicists came up with all that stuff. C'mon guys. You
really do think we're all a bunch of bumbling rubes out here in non
science world, don't you?

Sheesh. Next you'll say you invented the automobile or the airplane.
Is this the kind of line your connected university physicists use so
they can get huge grants to play around with quarks?

Jade

Why don't you think about a bit more Jade... Where did those transistors
and integrated circuits come from? And yes they are an integral part
of the modern automobile and airplane.

and for the last 40 years, since a physicist invented the transistor,
physicists have hardly had even a pinky's worth of forward
technological motion compared to engineers. get a grip, dude.

Um, let's see...
grid computing
HTTP
quantum computers
warm-temperature superconductors
doppler radar
proton therapy
lasers (as in CD/DVD players, f'rinstance)

Could go on...

Do you need your subscription to Popular Science renewed?



when you figure out how to make a tardis, come on back and well talk.
