haha you're funny and accurate. Well, I guess they do teach physics, but after you go on the job, the details of physics are out the window, except for when loading (stability, displacement, buyancy) then fixing positions (range and bearing, DGPS) Some of us also use Sextants on deep sea voyages, to take bearings of celestial bodies, the declination of the earth and corrections (Astronavigation). The other theoretical stuff that is of no use is out the window.

Next time you're flying stick a kettle out the window and tell me when it starts boiling ...lol

cheers
