Tons of scientific papers on things like analyzing harmonics and material grain structure are rapidly adopted by mechanical engineers.
Comparing it to fundamental physics is like comparing it to abstract math — in which case the relationship is still the same:
Physicists building the LHC pushed engineering forward.
Math researchers have substantially pushed numerical computing forward.
- hprotagonist 6y agoYou're conflating a few things -- it's not like mechE's don't have their own journals in which to publish scientific papers, after all. It's merely that, to pick some famous names: what leslie lamport or simon peyton-jones or donald knuth do with their daily professional lives and output has a passing similarity with what titus winters or linus torvalds or raymond chen or .. have, but not much more than that. And both groups know stuff the the other one does not.
