The smartest person I know is my father . He is a mechanical engineer. He came up with a formula to predict output of a 1/2 billion dollar paper machine. He has a plaque with the formula on it. It sort of became a joke among managment because nobody really understood the formula but him. I asked him about that and he said Thats fine if they don't understand it other engineers understand it. Before I knew trig if I wanted to rake a frame on a bike he would tell me the size of the notch to cut . If I needed to make a taper on my lathe he would tell me the math. He has been retired for quite some time.He has given me books I have read like " Principles of Mechanical Design" and other interesting reading. He is not likely smarter than any other engineer but when he is your dad you don't see it that way. He is 86 now and the president of his self run senior complex which I wish he wouldn't do . I think he should relax . But he has been retired for quite some time now. He says it is stressful but he just got re-elected because he didn't want to look like he was wimping out after only one term. My personal conversations are not that intellegent as you can tell by some of my attempts at humor on this site.
