I don't know enough scientists or artists to know what an engineer is.

This is engineering not after hours where a poster can throw out silly coments and have people take them serious. Mods please lock this one, soon, real soon like! Cant we just keep this forum for serious conversations?

Seriously though, the present day engineering is based on the science of yesterday, and artists are those that imagine future, for the science of tomorrow
