airplane eight sitting-still
The powered flight took a total of about eight and a half minutes. It seemed to me it had gone by in a lash.

engineering two mind
In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related. Richard P. Feynman

The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded....
