"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

THE IDEA PROPOSED IN THE O.P. IS PREPOSTEROUS. Mostly, this is because of physics, with a goodly portion of its impossibility being attributable to logistics. I say this not because I am a brilliant physicist, or because I have mastered all the myriad arguments against this idea, but because if such a thing were possible, Congress would have prohibited it by now.

Nothing would get done if people just said that something no matter how blatent was impossible.

Tell that to the revolutionary inventors, scientists and engineers who pushed the boundaries of what we know in the name of progress.

Theres a lot to be said for setting your mind to a task. There is also the first step of inventors, scientists and engineers:
Researching the topic at hand.

A summary of this thread so far:



Oddly enough that is a large actual factor of many scientific breakthroughs.

No.

Sometimes you can't just make stuff happen.

You just have to put stuff together and see what the result is at the other end. Maybe all the results will be useless failure but once, maybe just once there will be abnormality and you will make a breakthrough.

Take the higgs boson particle in the large hadron collider, nobody thought it really existed and through what can only be called a miracle they actually found it.

Calling it a miracle is an insult to the people working on the project, the people who postulated it and the countless people involved in getting that hardware up to the point that it could be used in this field.

Im sure there is a large majority of hard work and effort that goes into those projects but sometimes chance just plays a role.

If you had said Luck I wouldn't have a problem with it. You said miracle.
