This Turbine Fits Better In Rectangular Boxes

Content If the proof of a theorem is not immediately apparent, it may be because you are trying the wrong approach. Below are some effective methods of proof that might aim you in the right direction. Proof by obviousness: "The proof is so clear that it need not be mentioned." Proof by general agreement: "All in favor?.. Proof by imagination: "Well, we'll pretend it's true. Proof by convenience: "It would be very nice if it were true, so.. Proof by necessity: "It had better be true, or the entire structure of mathematics would crumble to the ground." Proof by plausibility: "It sounds good, so it must be true." Proof by intimidation: "Don't be stupid; of course it's true!" Proof by lack of sufficient time: "Because of the time constrait, I'lI leave the proof to you." Proof by postponement: "The proof for this is long and arduous, so it is given to you in the appendix." Proof by accident: "Hey, what have we here?!" Proof by insignificance: "Who really cares anyway?" Proof by mumbo-jumbo: Wo ф, 3,830*8=8, Proof by profanity: (example omitted) Proof by definition: "We define it to be true.! Proof by tautology: "It's true because it's true." Proof by plagarism: "As we see on page 289,..." Proof by lost reference: "I know I saw it somewhere....' Proof by calculus: "This proof requires calculus, so we'll skip it." Proof by terror: When intimidation fails Proof by lack of interest: "Does anyone really want to see this?" Proof by illegibility: E GED Proof by logic: "If it is on the problem sheet, it must be true!" Proof by majority rule: Only to be used if general agreement is impossible. Proof by clever variable choice: "Let A be the number such that this proof works.." Proof by tessellation: "This proof is the same as the last." Proof by divine word: " And the Lord said, 'Let it be true, and it was true Proof by stubbornness: "I don't care what you say- it is true." Proof by simplification: "This proof reduced to the statement I + 1 = 2." Proof by hasty generalization: "Well, it works for 17, so it works for all reals." Proof by deception: "Now everyone turn their backs. Proof by supplication: "Oh please, let it be true. Proof by poor analogy: "Well, it's just like...' Proof by avoidance: Limit of proof by postponement as it approaches infinity Proof by design: If it's not true in today's math, invent a new system in which it is. Proof by authority: "Well, Don Knuth says it's true, so it must be!" Proof by intuition: "I have this gut feeling.

Finally, a species that can calculate load-bearing capacities and run away from predators at 35 mph! The hard hat really completes the professional look. Next up in evolution: deer with pocket protectors and safety glasses. Nature's way of saying "I need someone who can design a forest AND look majestic doing it." If only those antlers could double as Wi-Fi antennas—then we'd truly have the perfect biological engineer!

Someone finally ran computational fluid dynamics simulations on a cow. Funding well spent. The colored visualization shows airflow patterns around bovine bodies, proving that cows are, in fact, aerodynamically viable. Next grant proposal: determining the terminal velocity of a Holstein. Graduate students everywhere just found their dissertation topic.

The hypocrisy of measurement systems is just *chef's kiss*! Metric enthusiasts will passionately argue against imperial units while conveniently ignoring how their own beloved electrical units are defined by bizarre silver deposition rates and fictional positive charge carriers. The ampere definition is particularly wild - instead of using fundamental atomic properties, we decided "let's measure how much silver gets plated per second!" Meanwhile, conventional current flows opposite to actual electron movement because... reasons? Scientists really said "physics is hard enough, let's make it unnecessarily confusing!"

The classic parental promise meets harsh reality! This meme perfectly captures the disconnect between expectations and outcomes in tech education. While parents tout college degrees as universal keys to success, our protagonist's Computer Science degree led straight to... a fast food joint. The irony? They're probably using more complex algorithms to optimize burger assembly than in their actual coding interviews. Four years of data structures, and now they're structuring value meals instead of databases. Still technically "debugging" though – just with ketchup packets.

Looking at a Mollier diagram is the engineering equivalent of trying to read a subway map while riding a rollercoaster. That tangle of pressure, enthalpy, and entropy lines isn't just a graph—it's a visual assault weapon. Engineering students squint at these monstrosities trying to figure out if water is vapor, liquid, or possibly transforming into a fifth state of matter nobody's discovered yet. The second law of thermodynamics should've included "thou shalt not create incomprehensible spaghetti diagrams that make students question their career choices." Prescription glasses companies must make a fortune during thermodynamics semester!
