re: #156 3eff Jeff

Physics departments always hate getting letters from retired electrical engineers. It’s always the engineers that send in the letters (sometimes manifestos, occasionally thousand page exegesis) espousing some bit of quackery and expecting the physicists to be dumbfounded at their brilliance and hand him a Nobel Prize for his efforts.

(If not clear from the above: I’m an engineer.)

Some of the fringy-est “theories” in physics and genetics have come from engineers and medical doctors.
