Not one bit.

GR and SR are still considered by orthodoxy the utmost
reference.

QM still is considered as representing physical reality.

No requestioning allowed (withing the community, of course).

No progress whatsoever at the fundamental level since the
beginning of the 1930's.

There is plenty going on that is helpful to mankind, and in the short
term. But at the time that the work is actually going on, the news
about physics tends to focus on the exotica. I have no idea why this
is.

You may not be aware of this, but Doppler radar for the detection of
tornadoes and microbursts was a research project out of Los Alamos
National Laboratory and invented by physicists.

Probably the best thing to do is to stay away from Discover Magazine.

Are you quite sure about that?

And you might want to look up the Nobel prize associated with the
transistor.

no, it runs on engineering. physicists are not needed to design a
computer. only engineers. its been so long since physicists added to
the pc state of the art that its laughable.

and for the last 40 years, since a physicist invented the transistor,
physicists have hardly had even a pinky's worth of forward
technological motion compared to engineers. get a grip, dude.

when you figure out how to make a tardis, come on back and well talk.

and what a piss poor motor it was. only when ENGINEERS got a hold of

it was an electrical ENGINEER. not a physicist.

faraday has the laws, man. but he didnt really do anything beyond
