Engineering

Being an engineer is interesting. I'm stuck between the orderliness of principles and the disorder of the universe. However, even the disorder has a sort of orderliness so you can actually design based on the kind and amount of expected disorder.

Just simple stuff. You expect ocean temperature and salinity will be within a certain range. Order in the disorder. Ideals. Reality.

Matching ideals to reality and doing something useful in the process.

We can't measure anything (exactly). We cant know anything (for sure). And out of all this uncertainty we supply a want or a need at an acceptable price.

Inspired by the comment thread at The Reference Frame where Lubos is discussing entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, the arrow of time, collapsing the wave function, and the fact that so many physicists do not understand physics. He names names.
