On the Difference Between Engineers and Scientists

From my tagboard:

TWL (Engineer): Hmm... The domain of pandemonium. I wonder if that is a frequency domain or time domain.

Pandemonium (Scientist): It's a spacetime domain in R4.

TWL: I see ! That is the difference between engineers and scientists.

Haha ... if you're not so hardcore theoretical you could have replied if it's in k-space or in real space as well

Eh, spacetime not really R4 leh, it's pseudo Euclidean, can have -ve interval also. As Englert like to say, i'm just being pedantic haha

You want more power might as well say it's C4 space lah ... hmm or maybe an infinte dimension Hilbert space ... muahaha

Ah well, I wasn't thinking that much when I typed the reply. It was just an offhand comment.
