Mory, let me start whith a question. why you and jf keep calling me chimp? nobody else does. is it a manifestation of an inferiority complex? do i get it right?
mory, i taught people who teach engineers, i know well what they are taught. it is not much, at bs and ms level. can get better at ph.d.d level. if you don't know that real learning involves hard, very hard work, you haven't been exposed to much learning.
math involved in buildings not falling and 747 flying (which requires mostly phenomenological formulae), and electrons flying (in wires) is not very advanced and sophisticated math. no matrix algebra, no analysis of functions of complex variables, no group theory, no hermitian conjugate operators in gilbert space, etc.

can't argue with that. however, your understanding of determinism is rather naive. as is your insistence on having your own theories of everything not in agereement with "experts". the truth is, you can't possibly have a non-naive theory of phenomena you are not intimately familiar with. it's just self-deception. i guess it's ok. so long as you do not jump on people with axes or ropes.
