I am a FE'er and I have a big problem.  How do we explain the computer?  Those RE'ing fools will claim that computer chips are designed and manufactured using quantum mechanics, solid state physics, special relativity, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, quantum field theory, and a host of other nonsensical subjects created by the same morons who keep insisting the world is round.  However, I am typing on a computer.  What should we do?  A more learned FE'er out there, please explain in full detail the inner workings of a computer.  After all, if  we cannot explain computers, maybe we should stop using them.

Since we cannot explain gravity, we should just stop using it?

Don't deny gravity, man; you'll fly off the Earth.

I've never liked gravity - it tried to kill me once.

Ha, then it exists afterall.

Make sure everyone takes note of that. Because gravity tried to kill him, it must exist.

Now I know why you all pick semantics.

Hey engineer, are you a fool?  Better yet, are you really an Engineer?  Computers are not a law of nature.  Computers are technology created by man and exploiting the known laws of the universe.  We as FE'ers don't believe the laws, so my question is how do we explain the computer.  Gravity is a natural field.  Gravity is not technology, and it was not created by man.  Clearly, you are not the one to answer my question.  How dare you call yourself a FE'er.

So Engineer, you are saying that you except the standard model?  Clearly you have two choices, except the god awfull RE'ing standard model or produce an equally adequate theory, which is not at odds with a FE, and is able to tell me why those fools were able to make computers, GPS systems, nuclear reactors, ultrafast femtosecond lasers, linear particle accelerators, the INTERNET (born at CERN in Switzerland), and so one... So, what's it going to be?  Please, can you give me a scientific answer this time.  Preferably with equations.  At least point me to a peer reviewed article in the literature.

I think you're getting a bit carried away there.

I don't think the same people designing computers are the ones who are pushing the round earth theory. Though the probably have been brain washed to accept it.

And FE theory doesn't contradict quantum mechanics, solid state physics, special relativity, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics or quantum field theory and there's a lot more evidence supporting these well recognised theories than there is evidence for this nonsensical "hypothesis" that the world is round.

When I look at science I judge each theory by it's merits rather than making some crazy assumption that it's all right or all wrong. Which would clearly be stupid.

texta, through an over-looked portion of the FAQ, I've been under the impression that gravity didn't exist in the Flat Earth Theory; while a re-reading of the FAQ, I have found the other answer to the question; unfortunately, I've been giving this same false impression to the REers.  For this, I apologize.

Where are you going with this line of reasoning?  GPS and nuclear reactions?



Oh, almost forgot to include an equation:
Vmax=(-PL^3)/(48EI)

"the INTERNET (born at CERN in Switzerland)"

actually... i call BS on that one. the internet was invented at least 10 years before CERN made it s "public" resource.

Internet was technically born a long time before then, chum.

what a great name sodanet. way better than internet

he kinds of equations that they have now are the kinds of equations you would get in an approximation scheme to some underlying theory, but nobody knows what the underlying theory is.
