What the fuck, engineers

I just finished my first semester as an undergrad Physics student at a big state school in the US, and I cannot figure out what is wrong with all the engineering students.

They act like they're the smartest ones and that the only reason physicists exist is for engineers to use the principals discovered, even though all they ever have to do is use equations without worrying about where they came from.

Well yes, that's now they act and that this line of thought only gets stronger over time. Nothing we one can do about it, I'm afraid.

(I think I should sage, though.)

Well, now you know how mathematics students feel about you.

Whoever let you out of your assbergers cave and told you that you were capable of feeling things did you a terrible disservice.

Are physicists always this buttmad about everything? they seem to dislike chemists aswell.

also this thread is obvious bait

Isn't that exactly what physicists do?

If they're on shit engineering studies, sure.

That's... That's some opinion alright. It sure is.

And since this is a free country, I guess you are entitled to your wrong opinion.

I know bro. I have yet to meet an engineer that understands stuff I don't, so I always take great pleasure crushing down their egos when they brag about their "studies" at parties.

Inb4 "muh Feynman", the only reason he's so famous is because of how extroverted he was, he's the only physicist most people have heard of besides Old E.

No, he is known because QED is fucking important.

He has a point. Nobody knows Dirac. And he even stated out as engineer.

He was not a populizer of science like Feynman was and he did not have a recent documentary made after him.
Plus all the engineer frats know him because they constantly use the dirac function in their calculations.

Why in the world would an engineer brag about his studies at a physics faculty party?

They normally take to being braggarts around those social-science types who are easily woo'd by large words and numbers.

I don't know, usually people get drunk quickly so they can get laid before they continue their dry studies.

his ratio is awesome though.
in fact all his work on continuum mechanics is pro.

this is my prob with physics majors...at least on /sci/
they pretend they know everything because they study "modern" physics, but ignore large swaths of classical mechanics.

Why would I care? I just want to make stuff do stuff.
