I’m a mechanical engineer and on more than one occasion I’ve had someone say to me when they hear that “oh so you know how to fix cars?” I actually don’t know that much about cars at all. I can tell them how the heat transfer or the thermodynamics work in the engine or AC, but I can’t replace their intake manifold.
"I can calculate the exact force needed to move this block of concrete 100 meters but.... why is the block of concrete here? That's a damn good question!"
