G+_George Kozi Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Originally shared by George Kozi This is a serious question: Are scientists superstitious? Because, I can very easily imagine: - a biochemist saying something nice to the mass spectrometer, because he thinks that the machine works better when he does... - the engineer hitting a piece of equipment in a certain place, because that inexplicably fixes it. - the mathematician using his lucky fountain pen... - the researcher wearing his lucky underwear when he applies for a grant... - the computer geek talking to his computer (and I don't mean his AI Assistant) but yelling at the machine when it does something he doesen't like... etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Shada Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I talked to all the machines I owned all the time. Even before there was AI and when the AI is turned off. But then I'm not a scientist I'm only a retired electronics technician so it's okay right? LOL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Scientists are not superstitious... However, many of them ARE quite esoteric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
