Come to think of it, I may not mind innovators in math and physics research, but I really don't want too much innovation in bridge building.
I saw a documentary about a replacement bridge being built and then slid into place on teflon runners. Talk about engineers having a pucker up moment as they demo'd the old and slid the new one into place in one or two days. I was amazed. I like those newish tower cable stay bridges. They look like those old hippie yarn sculptures. Sorry BH I'm just being contrary.
