Well, as much as I am attracted by the mysteries of science, I am quite happy solving relatively mundane problems everyday like so many engineers. So much so that I am not sure what it would take to make me do something else. My name is not in any book and that's fine with me :-) Didier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Shoppa Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Time may not exist I was a physicist. After hearing way too many years about super-string theory, coordinate-free notation, etc. I quit, and now my day job consists of building/maintaining a supervisory control system that hurtles metal subway trains 450 to 600 feet long from a stop to 60 MPH and back again every minute or two, 40000 times a day. To say that "I quit" is one interpretation, an equally valid interpretation would be that I completely flamed out in my first post-doc :-). I am so much happier now that I get to use coordinates again :-). It is increasingly frustrating that the several thousand clocks around the railroad are never synchronized, though!
