[lbo-talk] Matter and Antimatter: How to Create a Crisis:AThanksgiving Rant

[Chuck Grimes]

Oh, I forgot to mention your example of the Dutch becoming rich and
powerful by building ships. 

I wrote a long post filling in some gaps for that example. I didn't
send it. 

And I can't remember now whether I mentioned this before on some other
post. Buidling ships is a giant math and physics problem. In turn
those practical engineering problems had a lot to do with creation of
scientific knowledge. Now days that would be even more so, when you
think about the communications and navigation systems and their high
tech computer systems, i.e. lots of work for programmers and systems
engineers, big boom in the tech sector etc.
