My saying the unsaid would be of academic interest only, if any interest at all, for...those taking interest in uninteresting matters, but for Kaar, belief is central.
It is not about the 'belief' that one must have in...oneself, for example, or in a cause, as this one, but it is something more practical, more scientific, more engineering-ish.
Without further ado, let me just reveal that what I was talking about was the chassis of Kaar. Ideally, it should have been ready ages ago, but the underlying reason it hasn't been completed yet is our mistrust in engineering.
What sounds so fascinating in class...second moment of area resisting bending to applied loads sounds so utterly ridiculous in practice. The 1 inch diameter tube, that should theoretically not bend on paper, seems flimsy and unable to bear the loads it is supposed to take.
The analyses in computer softwares and simulations...well, they simple lie!
Our distrust, or the self-conflicting nature of science? Lets find out tomorrow!
