tomcat,

Your reply irks me on so many levels.

You speak as if paperwork were reality and the time to publish a paper
is somehow a detriment to the flow of valid ideas. And you ignore the
benefits of peer review - which filters out obvious bull*** so people
don't waste their time with it.


I have never said that publishing "a paper is somehow a detriment to
the flow of valid ideas." Peer review, intelligent criticism that is,
is fine. In fact, I enjoy it. But senseless remarks, statements void
of content, made by those that are 'void between the ears' incense me.


Reality isn't revealed in the ruminations of clueless posters to the
internet, reality is revealed by the work done in labs by COMPETENT
researchers. Labwork comes from the creative insights of imaginative
and KNOWLEDGEABLE people. Labwork can take years, creativity can occur
at any time, but may take a lifetime of working and thinking about a
problem.


There are clueless posters, but I am not one of them. Usually
"clueless posters" are identified by either 4 letter words, or posts
void of content (see my remarks above).


Once a solid base of laboratory data is accumulated, creative and
competent technical people can take that data and use it to achieve
amazing things.


Yes, that is the way our huge industrial research establishment is
handling things today. Unfortunately, 99% of the researchers have no
creativity in them or it has been beaten out of them by those that
brown-nosed, achieved high position, and 'have no creativity in them'.
The net result of this brown-nosing, whip the bright attitude, is
'sterile research' that costs billions and accomplishes nothing.


Edison while not formally trained subscribed to Scientific American, he
counted it as a huge benefit to his work. Edison created his own
research lab to get information more quickly and more relevant than
using Scientific American by itself.

Edison was one of the very brilliant and creative people that pushed
America ahead in the late 19th Century. My hat is off to him! Edison
gave us motion pictures, the telephone, the stock ticker, the
mimeograph machine, and the phonograph. He knew to experiment and to
use what he learned from that. I also agree that Scientific American
is good reading.


Noyce and Moore were formally
trained as Electronic and Chemical Engineers - they knew a helluva lot
about electronics and chemical engineering to come up with innovations
in ICs - in the end they had a huge staff of researchers as well to aid
them in their creative efforts - which resulted in the computers that
form the basis of the internet you talk about.

Integrated circuits are very important and their contribution is
considerable. They must have worked in an enviornment that allowed
creativity, i.e., new ideas.


I am not sure how all of this relates to me. I have a standing offer
to build a waverider cargo hauler for 8 billion dollars upfront. Why
no one else can do this, I don't know. Maybe it is because they have
never personally witnessed hypersonic flight or the Earth at 300,000+
feet. Once, while flying in a plane, marvelled at the skin being red
hot just a couple of inches from my shoulder, yet I was completely
comfortable. It takes engineering to do that. And, engineering can do
that, and a lot more.
