>>	surreal Sat Oct 29 07:09:37 2016 No.8443976 --t. guy who doesn't believe in atoms nice meme tesla he was right tho

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 29 13:20:41 2016 No.8444429 >>8442410 He was right. This is exactly why nothing much gets done in science anymore. All that mathematical models do is describe what we already know. If we want to discover new shit, we need to be doing more experiments.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 29 14:24:21 2016 No.8444521 >>8444429 that's actually true

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 29 14:39:41 2016 No.8444540 >>8444429 Hontou no baka. 90% of mathematicians work on applied maths, very concrete, very usefull.

>>8444540
Concrete and useful, yes. Is it a perfect substitute for experimentation? No. Had a lecture from an actual self-employed rocket scientist a few weeks ago.

He said this is the biggest problem in the field. I'm going to assume he knows what he's talking about because he just patented a fuel that all the huge corporate labs had overlooked because their modeling techniques predicted that the breakthrough ingredient would not combust in the presence of the specified oxidizer. He literally threw a handful of powder into a Bunsen burner and solved a problem the aerospace establishment had thought unsolveable for 10 years.
