  11. I recently heard from a friend that some universities in what used to be
  12. the Eastern block did not teach the second law of thermodynamics to
  13. their students, because that was seen to collide with Marxist philosophy
  14. that the world was going to perfection, and was therefore politically
  15. incorrect to the highest degree. He also mentioned that Goedel's theorem
  16. was taught to be fallacious, for the same reason. Is this true?

  19. The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic
  20. diagram.
